I love how Emily includes little pictures of different landmarks and the coded letters that you can try and decode yourself. It definitely adds to the fun of reading.
As we begin the journey towards the end, Liefs character is tested and pulled. We see him as King of a cursed land and while he has much help, the immense burden on his shoulders is hard to read. And yet through everything he remains unjaded and kind. I adore this caring side to him, but also see the pressure it lays on him.
As we hunt down dragons, encounter old friends, such a journey is a joy to read. Can't wait to read the next parts~
