This book has all the usual issues of a Paolini story and had NO RIGHT being that long—but I had SO MUCH fun re-entering this universe and hanging out with my fave broody, poetry-writing, dragon-riding bad boy with parental issues. It was also good to read a YA fantasy sequel/spinoff that admits to the extensive PTSD of its characters, and I would have liked to see more ~healing~ instead of the more ~trauma~ (especially with Thorn, has he not been through enough???)
Graphic: Torture, Blood, Mental illness, Animal cruelty, Injury/Injury detail, Death, Violence, Confinement, and Murder
Moderate: Child abuse, Child death, Grief, Abandonment, and Slavery
Minor: Death of parent and War
