I read Arenson's first Requiem series and thought maybe this one would be interesting.  It is a real page turner all right.  I found myself skimming, skimming, skimming trying to get past all the filler to find where the plot advanced.  Having finished this book, I have no desire to read the rest of the series.  It's basically the same song of Requiem over again with less depth.  Dragons fight a battle against unspeakably evil opponents.  Lots of horrific bloodshed.  Dragons win.  Regroup.  Another unspeakably evil opponent arises.  Padding consists of repeating how scared the dragonfolk are and how vengeful the enemy is and describing how citizens are slaughtered.Arenson has created an interesting world and I would like to know more about these people who can shift into dragons. Surely he can think of better stories to tell.
