- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

This ultimately ended up being way longer than it needed to be, I think. Or at the very least I would have cut a lot out from the middle, and made the end feel less rushed. And to think that the author’s note said this was longer before his editor trimmed it down! I wavered between liking and not liking Daviot, mostly because of all his pining. The insta-love plot did not work for me in this, and neither did the way several of the characters changed once the dragons got introduced. It was like everything else went out the window and the only thing that mattered were the dragons by the end. And that still somehow ended up being the most interesting section of the book
