Anything else not covered so far?

Although this book wasn’t really my kind of thing, I don’t really have much negative to say about it either. I thought the story-telling was good, the writing entertaining, the characters ok if kind of formulaic. I don’t really have any complaints despite not being that excited by it.

One world-building miss I stumbled across... had no-one ever thought of using dragons as troop transporters before? We had plenty of hints of the dragons' abilities to carry loads over distance (with the aerial rescue of the wounded dragon), so surely someone had the idea of getting a dragon to carry a box full of soldiers.

It was a fun morph of the "I do not say, my Lords, that the French will not come. I say only they will not come by sea." quotation
