Very excited to see how the dawnshard will be used to further the overall plot of this world, I know it's going to play a big role. It was nice to see some of the side characters get a starring role. I really liked the disability rep too

I think this was very fun. There was a good adventure/ mystery storyline, and I liked reading more from Rysn’s perspective because I thought she was really interesting when she first showed up.

Even though the trade/ compromise that they made with the hoardling things at the end was a little confusing,

I enjoyed the book and I should honestly probably read it again to understand it fully.

A fun little story that if a breath of fresh air as we take a step back from the main plot and characters, with a focus on supporting characters that we haven't had the chance to spend as much time with. The story moved slower than I would have liked, and definitely left more questions than answers, but it's always fun to read about Lopen and was great to see more of his journey. Rysn definitely stole the show, and I thought (personally) that Brandon did a very good job discussing the hardships and motivations of someone with a disability such as this character. Her struggles and ability to rise above the challenges was very well-written as well as inspiring, but also not something you see very often in literature. I'm excited to see more of these characters moving forward and see how their arcs intertwine with the overarching story.
