This is fantastic. The only thing I want is more. It’s kind of like the film series “How To Train Your Dragon” but with more of a hunting for actual use/naturalist bent

4.5

I absolutely loved this second book. Its main minor drawback is the cast with point of view chapters being perhaps a bit too large. That said, I was thrilled by the twists and turns, both in terms of action and character based ones. It really plays with the emotions masterfully.
