This is the only book I've read in the series and I don't intend to finish it.
Their are three man characters in this book. The MAIN character, female James Bond, and the boat guy. An entire third of this book is dedicated to the boat guy and his sections are entirely inconsequential to the plot. I would recommend skipping them.
The magic system is just a shallow rehash of mistborn but with drakes.
Very few of the characters are logical in their choices and frequently make actions that are contrary to their established expertise for the sake of plot.
If you like drakes and don't think they get enough representation in fantasy then you might have a good time. If you need narrative coherence then probably skip it. If you like author's who pad out their plots to meet word count then this book is for you.
