I'm still very much enjoying my reread of this series. "Alta" basically takes us through the development of Kiron and Avatre from escaped serf and dragonet, to leaders in their own right. Fun read.I was torn between 3 and 4 stars but eventually settled on 3 because while some negative things happen everything still seems a bit to perfect. Kiron just happens to save the daughter of a weathy man that can be his sponsor? The girl he saved just happens to be able to talk to animals? I expected a bigger fight and someone would try to take Avatre away from him, but it doesn't happen or I figured they might be hesitant to trust him thinking he's a Tian spy, but it doesn't happen.

I did not enjoy the pacing in both of these books; although I do love when authors go into deep explanations and details about their world I loathe how it drags on and on in her books.Perhaps that might change later in the series, but for now I will cope with the bothersome text.
loved it so much. It's been a year since I read book one and now I can't wait to get my hands on book three.

Surely others have the same sort of experience?Some inconsistencies. Aket-ten is a nestling and then is suddenly a fledgling. The dragon Bethlan is
Interesting can't wait to read the next book
The second in the series, this book is best read after the first, but I think there's enough context without. They even reiterate a bit of the last book. It ends at a reasonable spot, but definitely is best if you at least continue to book 3.After a bit more journey and some sage advice, our hero reaches his homeland. He's welcomed, and provided for, and things go well, until a darker side emerges. This book chronicles the slow building of forces to fight against the established evil.
