I really wish they would stop saying the full title of all the Great Beasts. This is the 9th book in the series, we know who they are and who they're bonded to. Suka the Polar Bear, Arax the Ram, Anda's spirit animal, Tellun. I don't want or need it every single time every single one comes up.
Them wanting to send Anda home because of what happened with Tellun doesn't make sense. If you are trying to get him back, who better to help than the guy that summoned him? I get he's not really combat oriented, but that doesn't mean there's no place for him. Plus, it saves the trip of getting Tellun back to him once he is rescued and saves them both the pain of being apart that long. They would have to make the trip to return Anda anyway, now they have to make it twice. Inefficient.
I'm really enjoying the humor. They frequently make the best of the situation, quite entertainingly which is a vast difference from when they started. I'm very happy with the character development and how they aren't letting the terrible events shatter them.
Sometimes their inability to figure things out is frustrating. Could the "slice" of red be a coincidence? Well considering you are trying to find people wearing red, probably not. It's the seagull all over again. Could the celebration where there are a bunch of birds painted white perhaps be celebrating the white bird? Who knows, apparently.
The villan has truly gone off the deep end and I love it. He is exactly what I picture the villan of this world to be and it written perfectly. I'm really happy with the writing itself. A few things were a little silly, but I think this was a really good one!
