Fantasy Fanatics discussion

Here is where we can discuss Cold Steel by Kate Elliott, chapters 41-48.
DO NOT post any spoilers from further along in the book, this is just for chapters 41-48. Discussing events from these chapters or previous ones is perfectly fine.

Okay, I finished this book last month as I read the other two. I did like it. But there were a couple of plot lines that I was disappointed in :(view spoiler)[What about the dragons? What happens here, seemed like we almost had a build up to the secrets of the dragons and we get one piece -- what about the tides and the unmaking of things? Secondly, the war is over in one sentence when Cat wakes up? (hide spoiler)]

If I missed something, please clue me in. I did really enjoy the story even with my complaints.
