Hiccup didn't see the point in stopping Astrid as she ran off towards his village—towards his father—with his most desperately protected secret. He was leaving anyway. A coming-of-age tale. Deviates from movie. Borderline bromantic-comedy.
Very well done. There was a lot of heart but into this and it shows. She understood the characters and let them grow the way they needed to. I simultaneously want another book and feel it ends where it needs too.
