That ending… excuse me, what was that?! I’m still processing.

I’ll admit, the beginning of this book was a bit slow, and I kept waiting for things to really happen. But once the story hit its stride around the halfway mark, it took off.

One of my favorite things was getting different POV chapters toward the end. Not only did it keep things interesting, but I absolutely loved seeing the characters interact with their dragons. 

Also, Riddoc’s and his dragon Aotrom? Absolutely perfect. Their dynamic was easily a highlight for me.

As for the storyline, I had some guesses about where things were going (some spot-on, others way off), but there were definitely surprises that caught me off guard.

I’m so glad I gave this series a chance.

And now, the real struggle: waiting for the next book.
