4.75
Could it have been shorter? yes.
Did I wish it was? No.
Good (but lengthy) world building
The characters just were not quite enough to be attached too and care about but they were interesting, unique and good to read about.
One thing I will say, 800 pages, 750 pages building up to fighting the dragon and only 50 pages (if that) actually fighting said dragons. The final battle was underwhelming and had no negative consequences for the characters. After the intense world that was created leading up to it, it fell short
