There's lyrical prose, fantastic world building, and amazing dragon lore.
But there's also a severe lack of satisfying narrative arcs.
And for over 500 pages of story, there's so many things that were only addressed once or twice that really could have helped the pacing if they had been brought up again.
Please keep in mind that I'm also grey-ace, so while the sex scenes were well written it was mostly frustrating to have to sit through them when there could have been more time spent on, well, some semblance of a plot.

I'm kinda sad I only listened to this as entertaining while sick in bed.
After I had it on my wishlist for a long time and almost accidentaly ordered it twice based of an arc Review AND a coworker saying this is close to dethroning ToG for her, I was so excited for this.
And in the beginning I thought this was gonna be a year-highlight.
Don't get me wrong, I loved it!!
But in the end, there was some emotional connection missing for me. This could be entirely based on my state of mind atm, so I am really excited to read the next book(s) and will recommend this to anyone who'll listen.
