Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
this was quite enjoyable! a lot less confusing of who the fictional places/countries represented real life places, like Suhail was obvi Arab.
i liked that she brought her son with her and we got to see more of Isabella thinking about what makes a dragon a dragon, the taxonomy stuff. i think the main let down is that she keeps getitng into high profile events and they are discussed so blase and I get that its because of her character but it feels a little fake and almost like lazy writing
