Well, what a bust this book turned out to be :(. It felt like I was reading Dragon Kin lite. 
 1. The Eibhear present in this book is not the sweet, adorable, Eibby we've known from past books. And that is a very great shame because IMO all that cuteness was what separated him from the bunch. As it is, this mean, "warrior" Eibhear, was just a cheap knockoff of Bercelak, Fearghus, and all the warrior dragons we've been reading throughout this series. And he is much less compelling than them. Fail. 
 2. Izzy is just Annwyl lite. Seriously. She is Annwyl with none of the vibrancy and snark that makes Annywl such a joy of a character to behold. She is "a rude, annoying cow" and nothing more, to put it in the language of the series. 
 3. Being that the two main characters were not much to write home about, it was a fairly middling tale. However, I did really enjoy seeing everyone else again. Annywl and Fearghus remain my favorites, I would have possibly liked to see more of Bercelak, Brannie was a fun addition (and I hope to see her story sometime), and Talaith and Briec are very annoying characters also.
