While I enjoyed this book, I found it lacking in many ways. There wasn't much character development, and the plot points were too convenient. I don't think I would have completed the whole series if I hadn't been listening to the audio. Kate Reading did a fantastic job. She really nailed the voice of Lady Trent. I just wish there had been more story or more time spent developing the plot and relationship between characters. Overall, it's a decent series. I just wouldn't recommend it to every fantasy fan. It's a slower burn, and despite the name, it is not packed for of dragons.
