And here we are: I've finished my reread of the Age of Fire series.
In the end, this book was better than the last several, I think. It could have used some serious editting -- sometimes the wrong dragon's names are used, and it took a couple confusing moments to parse out what was really meant. Knight occasionally loses track of who's speaking in dialogues without dialogue tags, which is even more confusing to work out.
But it was still entertaining enough. The ending was weird, but there was at least some build-up to make it plausible, maybe, I guess (though it also seemed like something retconned into the last couple of books instead of something meant from the beginning). A character's complete heel-turn was not well-done though, and really a lot of a disappointment. But hey, it was hardly mentioned at all how the scent of human females makes male dragons horny.
Am I glad I reread this series after nearly 11 years? I honestly couldn't tell you.
