Status Updates From Novice Dragoneer (Dragoneer...

Ever since getting into part 3, I’ve been entirely unmotivated to finish this book

Tbh the writing leaves much to be desired. I like Ileth and this setting/world is currently within my reading fancies. But the unusual, unnecessarily long names and characters right now are not memorable enough save for the Master of Novices Caseen, Joai, the Matron, and Santeel. There is a lot of sexism which could be attributed to the state of things in this world, but it seems too much. Reading for Ileth

While well-written, this book is unfortunately boring and lives only in random bursts of energy. Characters are dull and relationships never feel very intimate, which could be thanks to Knight’s style more than Ileth as a protagonist

Very exposition heavy. Has a lot of Knight’s hallmark narrative quirks and also some repeated elements from the age of fire cycle. An interesting read thus far
