I love the way the story is evolving, and the way we're seeing the Immortal races impacted. I love watching Kaylin grow.
The only thing that I'm unhappy about is... well, frankly, exactly what is unhappy about: they don't respect Kaylin at all. I'm going to be honest, I shouted at the book when Lord Diar-douchecake said, about Kaylin, that "respect is earned." What the fuck does she have to do to earn it? She's saved everyone more times than I can count - and not from problems of HER making. She's also, arguably, now He's right, respect is earned. And he's earned none. The only dragons who have earned any respect are, imo, Tiamaris, Sanabalis, and perhaps the Arkon (when he sets aside his ego). And Kaylin (and Severn) have put them all to shame. What else should she do for you assholes? Kill the Outcaste? Since, you know, you dragons can't seem to do it, I guess Kaylin should clean up your mess for you, right?
Like always.
That's the only thing I'm struggling with. Because at this point, her loyalty and respect for these Immortals when they treat her as a speaking cockroach that they can barely tolerate, is hurting her character. I'm glad that it seems some major character is now going to speak up about the disgraceful way they treat her. She's not their slave, nor their doormat.
Next time she should tell them to solve their own damn problems.
