Another excellent installment in the series. Flamefall is that rare success of a second book in a trilogy, expanding on the world and character building of the first book while simultaneously setting up the third book and holding its own plotline. A prefect mix that had me speeding easily through this book.
In the first book we saw our young riders struggling to find their way among adults and the politicking of a young government. In this our riders realize their own power and strengths, although they still have their own flaws to work through. I was begging for these kids to figure it out, even as their painful story built their development.
This series is setting itself up to be amongst my favorite dragon books, I only wish the dragons had more of their own voices!
