This was definitely not as good as the first instalment in the series. Whilst I still enjoyed aspects (like the dragons) I think there was quite a big pacing issue, as there were moments when the plot dragged and felt repetitive (especially when rehashing elements from the first book), then all the scenes that moved the main plot forward being clumped together. The book definitely would have benefitted from being 100-200 pages shorter.
