This was what I expected from the last book - the final battle and wrap up from the war. While it was more what I had anticipated it still wasn't my favorite from the series as it still felt like the events should have happened sooner. Some of the big moments fell flat like the young dragon finally producing flame but his mentor not really recognizing and celebrating it. It feels as if the character development and them staying true to their own values has not been as important as it was in previous books.
