I had a wonderful time climbing mountains and exploring caves, ready to get into all the trouble Isabella was wont to find. My only wish would be that
the conclusion was more dragon-centric. Dragons seemed to be wrapped up in all the mysteries surrounding the expedition, but in the end answer was rather two separate problems (dragon bones and fire stones) than one convoluted mess with a brilliant through line that somehow connected it all. Not that I wasn't satisfied with solving the mystery, I was just prepared for it to be more about dragons.
