I really liked this book.  It was 29 plus hours on audio (a bit less as I listened to it at a slightly faster speed).
The cross over started very intriguing but then dragged on for too long.  
Sigrid was just a waste of time I'm no  sure what the point of her was, the things she did later were totally out of character. 
Lydia was the mvp of this book.

And I needed more fire sprites.
The spice kinda felt forced,  like oh crap I need to sprinkle a bit of spice before the end. 
I'm glad I read it,  I enjoyed most of my time in the world.  Just a few niggles. 
I thought this was the last but there are certainly things that went unanswered.
