While I did enjoy this read, it didnt have as much magic as the other books (metaphorically, not literally). I dont know, I just found myself not caring about as much until they got to the prison. The beginning love triangle and breakup? Yes, i ate that up. The middle part with the.. Crone? The dragon party? I didnt really care. I was bored. I didnt start caring again until they got to the prison. This was SO long, it could have had so much cut out that wasn't necessary. However, the ending shook me and I did tear up just a little, so props for making me feel emotions. My least fav book in the series so far, thats for sure. I will def be continuing though, I have to know what happens!
