I LOVE THIS BOOK!! I thought I’d got bored of fantasy books as (I sometimes find) they all have a similar plot and they were starting to get a bit boring… which is why at first I wasn’t  sure if I would like this book (and the 800 pages slightly scared me) but omg it is so worth it. 


First of all can I just say that Ead and Sabran are just so amazing and cute I love them. I also love how amazingly the whole world was developed, but I’m super disappointed it isn’t a series because I feel like since the world is so built up soooo much more could be done with it. I also love Margaret and Tané. I need a water dragon in my life.
