WoF Newfag again. Finished the first book today.
Started Lost Heir, too. But I'm going to leave that off for another post, I think. Lot of stuff to write about that.

In this, I believe last was left off, they were leaving the Skywings behind, and venturing into Mudwing territory.
Find out Glory can be used as a massive camo tarp, apparently. Pretty clever honestly. Didn't expect that.
Mudwings seem pretty decent folk. 'Least near as I can tell, with the limited adults to compare to. Even Clay's thot of a mother was civil, compared to most dragons met prior.
Said meeting was a real tragedy. Felt bad for my brown womanizer. Glad he met some siblings who do still care for him.
Lads seemed nice to boot. Though all young dragons so far have been.

Learning about Mudwing culture was actually pretty cool. They're a little more complex than I expected. So far, one of the most interesting ones, for sure. Not a favorite, but one I enjoy hearing about.
The hatching groups, and the 'big wing', was all especially unique. Loved the detail. Even if it seemed a slight bit of a cheap way to say "Clay totally didn't ever have a killer's instinct", cheapening his and Peril's relationship.

Morrowseer's a fucking cunt. Kestrel was a dick, but she didn't deserve to go that way. Getting merced in a total ambush just did not suit her. Dunno what I hoped for, per say, but I was sad to see her unceremoniously dumped off the edge, quite literally, at the end of the book.
Guess I'm mostly sad she and Peril never really had closure.

End section explaining each dragon race was excellent. I am genuinely irritated that wasn't at the start, considering how insanely useful it was for understanding the various details of given draconic types.
Ultra handy for actually keeping track of shit. Fortunately I had you people to explain half the various details, as well as pictures to go with it.

All in all; Solid 7/10 for me. Would recommend to scalies, probably nobody else, but I'm keeping with it.
