While this was a very entertaining and enjoyable read the plotline was definitely weaker compared to the first 2 books. The pacing was very fast and didn't allow us to stay in one place long enough to get to know new characters and worlds. I wish we would've seen more of the dragons or the elves. The 2nd book gave us the chance to explore so much of this world, but the 3rd feels a bit like a regress in this regard. It's still worth reading though. We get more information about the dangers that grew in the background and spend a lot of time with characters we know and love (and love to hate?). So if you already read and loved the first 2 books you should definitely pick up this one. You'll have a good time.
What did enjoy were the insights into the library and the new Infos about Alberich. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of him.

Again, the plot starts off quite interesting but then it gets really convoluted, with terrible pacing. I wanna read this series but I also hate it
