I enjoyed this book. It injects something interesting to Romeo and Juliet without reverting to silliness. The reveals are paced well, as it toys with expectation. I do wish there was a little more variation between character accents by the narrator. Overall a pleasant listen.

The first part was an interesting tale. Action packed: meeting the lake walkers, battling malices. The convincing trauma and recovery gives way to a boring end. Why just talk about things? The pacing is odd.

Also. The romance age gap. Young farmer, battered lakewalker... sounds like it could work. Each learning about love. But the gap is too big to be comfortable. When they reveal the true ages - ew. Spoiled it for me really.

Story did not grip me to read on in the series. Even though the world building and narration was great.

I am struggling to finish this. The narrator is very entertaining, and enriches the story. But it's such a slow paced story. Maybe it's because this is the first book I've read of the author. I felt I missed the interesting part with the dragons. The adventure is very much an adventure of realisation as opposed to swashbuckling.

I don't feel there's anything they can reveal at the end that is going to be earth shattering. So it's on the maybe listen pile.
