I had actually thought the first book in this was a 'one and done' so when I saw this one was out it was a pleasant surprise.
I wanted something light and entertaining to read and this definitely ticked that box. There is a little spike in it here and there but this is mostly a gentle romp, with dragons.
It ends kind of abruptly, which is the classic issue with (what I assume) is a middle book. However, I think that's a minor quibble.
Nice, gentle, brain in neutral entertainment. A recommend.
