(Spoilers ahead, read at your own risk) - kind of a long read, sit back with some tea for this To start, I think this book was drastically better than the previous two installments of the series. It was PACKED with information the other books never told us, as well as interesting takes and ties between characters only Snowfall would notice because of her idealist perfection theory for her tribe. Speaking of snowfall, her character development is a little cliche, ”have problems, find magic things, magic things suddenly fix problems, self - realization, etc’ BUT, every aspect of the book I read over multiple times to glean as much information as possible. Bumblebee has a total of 4 lines, but even if you haven't read any others of the third arc you still get a very clear picture of her personality. Most characters in this book follow basically the same path, being introduced to the reader as you've never met them before, which goes to say as neither has Snowfall. Either way, the presenting of details is really great and is one of the shining points of this installment. Little details, like a background character's lines, all make sense. I especially loved Sky's introduction, and the way he interacted with the other characters noticeably improved even over these few lines. Wren, as well, was very well done and from a completely different perspective than in Dragonslayer. I think a big reason Dragonslayer came out before TDG is because Wren was in it and it would throw some people OFF if this popped out of the blue like this. Her side storyline was 100% needed. The moral lessons learned and development of character and reason in Snowfall is some of the best I've read in a novel in a long time. It takes you with it the whole way and never gets too far ahead of the reader that you don't understand what's going on. The path she takes to become a better person and queen overall is great. Definitely go back and read this one again, and you'll catch things you might not have noticed the first time around. The team of representatives going to Pantala, to sort things out, was a far better decision by Tui than to send an army and have to come up with something to back that and make it make sense. Also, however cliche, the relationship between Snowfall and Lynx was very subtly brought along but strengthened as it went. Also, the way she treated the Pantalan dragons in Part III was interesting to see as well. As a last note, the Abyss has mentioned a total of 5 or 6 times, maybe some more information or context on that would have been great to see. This is really the only qualm I have with this entire novel, otherwise, GREAT JOB Tui! Overall, as a tl;dr, this book was AMAZING, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who has the chance to pick it up and read it over. The storyline and characters made so much more sense than the past two or so, and it's a very worthy read. Shameless server plug time HAHA!
