No spoilers...Oh I do love G.A. Aiken!I've been waiting for this book for ages, and it was a rewarding wait at that! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!Storyline: excellent.The land masses G has created continue on, as does the hierarchy of the dragons involved, and the the politics (which in any other book, bores me to death) are all still here, as are the characters.All it takes is to throw in one new character and bring that family to the front, twine it between what has already gone on before, and BANG, you've got yourself a fresh new story from a different angle.Sounds simple really doesn't it? Well I can tell you it's not that easy.Happiness factor: excellent.Do you know one of the things I truly love about G's work? Is that there's no repetition. G does not treat the readers like dumbos just because they may not have read the previous book/s. In other words, there is no rehashing of things mentioned in past books, so no boring bits for those of us that have. On the other hand, G also does not leave a new reader wondering what the heck just happened. G's books can be read as part of a series, or as a stand alone.Wanting more? Always!I love how there's always a twist or two in the books, and this one didn't disappoint. I still laughed, still smiled, and still shook my head at the characters portrayed. You see that's it... you have to get so sucked into the story that the world around you disappears and you laugh, cry and giggle along with them?Only thing I don't like: having to wait for the next book. (I know it will be worth it though.)
