I've finished it, and I thought it was a little difficult to follow who was who, and follow the politics of the colony. And the story was a little thin overall. I'd say it was so-so.

I'm not sure which of the previous ones I thought was best. The first was good with the establishment of the universe, meeting the dragons and so on, but I definitely liked 2 and 3 as well - and the one that takes place in the deepest, darkest Africa (with the Tswana tribe) no. 4 I think..? That was so much fun. Real boys' adventure story.

I wonder a little how much more it could be about dragons than it is? As far as I can see, the dragons plays a huge part of the stories.
