This was a solid sequel…lots of storyline building and of course excellent dragons 🐉. I’m just not settled with the ending. I’m hoping the next books explains some things!

Overall a crazy ride of a novel! Great characters, suspense, and a WTF kind of ending that sorta rips your heart out. Only holding off on 5 stars because there was one element of the plot I felt was not resolved.

Overall this book was creepy, gross, and disturbing. The first half was really, really good…the second half slowly got weird and not as good. The end was flat, but not bad.
