This was an enjoyable read and I can respect the author and his writing style. As a well-known author in some circles, I'm sure fans of his would love this addition and start to a new series. I, however, do not often read this type of fantasy and can't say I love it. I enjoyed the characters and some of the complexities that came with them (the dragon was a personal favorite of mine), but when it came to worldbuilding, that's where the story fell flat to me.

There's plenty of mentions of the past and this vast world, but rarely did we really dive into it. I think the characters and stories could have felt ten times as real if there was a bit more to pull from. Especially for the main character, Guillot.

Overall, I enjoyed it and it was an intriguing story. Just not quite my five-star cup of tea.
