Them: "When did you start this book?"
Me: "It's been 84 years..."
About done, though. And it's engaging, for sure, but so long a dragon grew to almost adulthood in the time it's taken me to read it.

THIS NOVEL IS HUGE! WHY!!!
I mean, entertaining, and I'm still hooked, but also, Rebecca, seriously, 640 pages of the tiniest print font?

Also, please, more Tairn and Andarna bickering.

I stand by what I said when reading Fourth Wing: this series is templated after Harry Potter (with graphic on-the-page violence and sex), but that's not a bad thing. It's just as absorbing, especially as the world/story opens up more and more, and as a bonus, it moves a heck of a lot faster than HP did.

This isn't exactly what I'd want to be reading right now, but the audiobook makes it a good story to get through until I'm in a better reading mood.
