I liked this one, but slightly less than the 2nd book. I loved
seeing the dragons start to fly and the explorations go Kelsingra.

*4.5 stars
Really enjoyed this. It's slow to get moving, due to lots of exposition in the first few chapters setting up our characters in their new location (which is intriguing and pretty awesome!) and reminding us of what's gone before for each of them, but I was totally invested. I'm just loving the settings in this series and the complex relationships between both dragons and humans. Plus the exploration of a world without birth control and the consequences for women, with different women responding in different ways to this. The dragons are also so cool, there's no cheese in their relationships with their keepers, they're as flawed and impetuous and varied as humans can be. I can't wait to read book 4 to find out what happens next.
