Amazon review....

[conuly]

I️ thoroughly enjoyed the Temeraire series, right up until this book. Like the others, it was well-written with a brand new setting and a brand new plot. However, the plot while starting out good, wobbled in the middle, and collapsed entirely in the end. Maybe someone else could appreciate the wishful deviation from history and what will assuredly be a miraculous recovery from the ending in the next book, but not me. I’m done with the Temeraire series, which saddens me because it was, up until this book, a very pleasant, historically brilliant series to read.

For context, the series in question features dragons in the Napoleonic Wars.

However, the worldbuilding as to non-European dragons and dragon/human relations is one of the best part of the series.

Is that what this reviewer thinks is so criminally ahistorical?

Let's just say that existence of Non-European dragons changes the balance of power in some interesting ways as far as colonialism goes. And yes, I suspect that what they were having a fit about.
