The only minor issue I had was that the deaths along the way felt kind of… pointless. It was like an editor said “something needs to die” and Shannon just went “fine this guy has no purpose, I’ll abruptly kill him off here.” Similarly all the major fights/battles were somewhat abrupt - over before I could get really excited about them. For such a high stakes war it felt like there was very little sacrifice and not quite enough struggle in the final battle to pull out victory. Buuut that’s honestly a minor quibble because the book is really about how they GOT to the final battle, and that was indeed very intricate and difficult.

So much time was wasted on the building and fluff parts that it felt almost all of the big parts were to short, too quick. the climax just immediately tanks, if it even really builds all the way to the climax.
I saw another reviewer say inelegant and I feel that is perfect to describe this.
the dragons were cool, I like the characters. it just felt like a slog because of the length vs plot struggle. I thought about giving it a 3 but then I was like I am not sure I would really recommend this.
