Another excellent installment in the series. Flamefall is that rare success of a second book in a trilogy, expanding on the world and character building of the first book while simultaneously setting up the third book and holding its own plotline. A prefect mix that had me speeding easily through this book.

 In the first book we saw our young riders struggling to find their way among adults and the politicking of a young government. In this our riders realize their own power and strengths, although they still have their own flaws to work through. I was begging for these kids to figure it out, even as their painful story built their development. 

This series is setting itself up to be amongst my favorite dragon books, I only wish the dragons had more of their own voices!

Wow. This had everything I was hoping for in the second book. An expansion of political intrigue, more difficult choices and moral ambiguity, another (great) POV, dragon fight scenes, further character development, and suspense. My heart was actually pounding in the last 75 pages! I absolutely cannot wait to start the final book.

Not me reading the last 10% in public and trying to contain my shock and stress because OMG PANIC!!! THINGS !! HAPPENED !! so yeah definitely did not see the ending coming, really liked the plot events but the book was a bit too slow for my liking and I kept wanting to think Lee's head, about to inhale the enxy book.
