review 1: GA Aiken always serves up a great romp of a book. The characters and their always make me laugh and smile. I loved that we had moved another jump in time so there was some focus on the children (new to the series and not) and they're having grown up.Elina of the Endless Name is a great character as is Celyn the Charming. I loved the early scenes with the Queen. I liked these two together. I liked their progression. I really loved the branding - she did it in such a dragon way.The goings on with the twins and Rhi confused me somewhat. But I'm sure it will be revealed in future books. I'm curious to see where the story is going.If you're familiar with the series - this is a great addition to it. If you're new to the series DON'T begin here - you'll miss the nuances ... morethat make this book a joy to read.
review 2: I can't believe it's over, 400+ pages and I don't know where they went! I love this series, and I hope there are many more stories to tell in this universe. Celyn the Charming (formerly known as Celyn the Black) and a stoic Daughter or the Steppes with an impossible long name, shortened to Elina (Shestakova), travel back to the clans of the Steppes to pursue an alliance against the deadly, creeping threat of the blind god Chramnesind and his fanatic followers. Their trek and adventures are a part of a larger and dense plot with a character ensemble that includes almost everybody else moving the story along together. There's that crazy contrast between the medieval setting and the modern speech and snark (and by the way, I could hear Elina speaking, and it was so funny!) and the crazy hysterically funny situations those dragons and humans get into, and on top of quite a few belly guffaws I had genuine visceral reactions that left me exhausted emotionally, but still wanting more. This is not a great flamboyant romance, but a very pragmatic one (with both hilarious and touching moments), and I didn't really feel it was so much about Celyn's and Elina's romance as it was about expanding the world and refocusing the story. Subjectively, I find this book to be much better than its predecessor, How to Drive a Dragon Crazy, but it may be a bit unfair since that book had a massive amount of expectation behind it and actually, it was quite good and satisfying. Now I can't wait for the next one and I'm quite grateful that all my beloved characters were spared and ready to move into that unsettling future Ms. Aiken/Laurenston has planned for them. less
