Paolini`s aviators are way more powerful, although i have my serious doubts about their fighting skills, and his dragons are clearly remarkably less mighty. They can be killed with weaker weapons than those that would do "less than a mosquitoe to a human" to Temeraire.



Well, for starters, His Majesty Dragon is NOT an Star Wars: A New Hope literary cover. (Seriously, the two suns were an internal joke of the movie or they are really there in the books?)The writing quality is completely beyond compare, Novik being easily among the best authors of the generation in terms of literary construction and Paolini being easily among the worst.
