I loved this prequel. It does give a lot of interesting background information for the main series but there was a part that really disappointed me at the end. Of course if you read this book last in the series you know
Oshli said in a dragons promise that he has “always wondered” if it was really Vanna that was buried in the jungle. But in the end of her radiant curse oshli SEES Channari and says he realized that it was her soon after the change. Then he asks her to permit him to speak Vanna’s name.  So he KNEW that the nameless queen was Channari and she agreed not to take his memories. So that’s a pretty big continuity error that really killed it for me.
I’m going to pretend not to know about it to make me feel better about it. Other than the continuity error it was a great book.
