This book is definitely not perfect. Things needed to be more expanded, other things seemed to just drag on and I'm definitely dissatisfied with the lack of a clear, detailed resolution for my darling dragonborn babies of the brood. They deserve a spin off of their own and it has to be pages and pages long.
However, I love High Fantasy and I loved the characters in this book way, way too much.
Especially Sebastian, who made me cry. A lot.
