This book is probably more like 3.5 but I am rounding up because it was better than book 2.
Things I liked:
Tarman!
The dragons coming into themselves.
The conflict between Alise goals and the keeper's goals
I love to hate Hest but I wish this storyline had progressed a little faster
The traders making a bargaining mistake
Things I did not:
Why...why do we need to hear about the adolescent sexual squabbles? Is this going somewhere?
Selden's storyline could have been more cohesive but it feels kind of shoved in.
God, the descriptions of Kelsingra, the dead city coming back to life. Fantastic. Awesome. Beautiful. Magical. My jaw dropped and it took my breath away.
