I have deeply mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, there was a lot about it that I loved: getting to see characters from the previous books, the worldbuilding and lore, everything about the eponymous Tomb of Dragons... And on the other hand, it went in some frankly baffling directions with the character arcs after everything that was set up in the previous books, in many respects. I finished the book and felt very "well... alright, that's an outcome, I guess" about everything about where Celehar ended up. There were bits that I loved, and there were bits that were fine I guess. There was nothing that I really disliked, but it's a weird place to be after how much I have loved all of the previous books.
I'll probably reread this before too long and try to figure out how I feel about it.
