(Review on re-read)
I think I might have liked this even more on the re-read. It was a good dig into some long-standing characters - Bellusdeo, Emmerian, Mandoran, Sedarias - and it was great for them to really get their moment. I love the relationship between Bellusdeo and Mandoran. And I have great hopes for the relationship between Emmerian and Bellusdeo. I really want to see some dragon babies.
But I will admit that I don't like Sedarias very much. I have sympathy for her, but she gives into her worst impulses constantly, while still maintaining this holier-than-thou attitude. It grates a bit.
I would also dearly love to see things move forward with Kaylin and Severn, especially after reading the two Severn prequel books. Kaylin is being an awful combo of oblivious and a coward, and that really needs to end. He deserves better than that.
