I enjoyed this book, I went in wanting to read a dragon book, and I did get some dragon. Could have had more dragons.
But on the grand scheme of things, there was a lot of extra, unnecessary information, like more than is enjoyable. Also the whole idea behind this plot was balance, but the author definitely didn’t hold it true to what should be major things. And why did the dragons need riders??? And the end happened soooo fast for this being an 800 page book….
Reads like a first time author, despite her having an apparently popular series
