""Who is that?" she asked.
"It's Uncle Moog, dear, Do you remember me?"
"Uncle Moog? I...of course I do. You used to sneak me cookies after Mom had gone to bed."
The wizard clapped. "Aha, yes! I'd completely forgotten about that! Gods, but Valery was a tyrant when it came to---"
"Moog," Gabriel cut him off. "Please. You said we haven't much time, right?"
"Right. Sorry." Moog pretended to lock his mouth closed.."lol

""Hold up," Sabbatha said. "Is Lastleaf not Vespian's son? How could he have two children? Did he have two wives?"
Kit threw up his hands, exasperated. "Good luck telling a story around this one," he said to Shadow. "Constant interruptions! No patience at all for dramatic exposition." lol. By the way, Kit who complains and Shadow, the story teller are both immortal.

Clay recollects the highlights of his recent adventure while high on "Magic mudweed" the troll witchdoctor offers. I thought that was a nice way to provide a summary of the book so far to the readers.

Owlbear has been mentioned like at least 5 times so far. I will be very disappointed if owlbear doesn't make an appearance in this volume.

The book explains the commonalities and difference between a wyvern and a dragon. "They were each vaguely reptilian...and covered with metallic scales."
And a druin can ride a wyvern.
It's the coolest thing ever.

I think there will be a drama that revolves Moog's personal story. The thing is that the drama will hit me as if I am reading the arc for the first time in my life.

The book is written from the bad guys' perspective. Maybe the Horde here means different from WoW.
The Horde = good guys
Humans = scumbags

Clay Cooper and Gabriel must cross the Heartwyld, a dangerous forest, to get to Castia where Gabriel's daughter may be. It's fun to read about a world where goblins and treants live. You want to live in it for a while. I remember a writer making a comment about the Lord of the Rings movie. You want the world's existence to continue as you watch the movie so you don't mind the movies' epic length.

The book is quite thick. I get a feeling of epic story from holding the book. That's a pretty cool experience.
