This is quite frankly an amazing beginning to a new arc in this series. It's a lot more lore-heavy than the previous books, but I like that.

Moon is a wonderful new character and I'm loving the addition of
SpoilerDarkstalker
as an actual individual instead of a Boogeyman figure.

Typically I would not read the sixth book in a series without having read any of the others, nor do I usually gravitate towards books about dragons, but as this was a shortlisted Cybil book in the category I was judging, I was obliged to read it. And it was pretty decent. Read my full review here.
