Unimpressed. Long slog. Reasons were the amateurish writing, cliches, immature romance scenes, slow plot and callous regard for life. The dragons were interesting, and the ending was unexpected. This may be a case where the TV show is better than the book.

Considering all the best-book-of-the-year awards this title won I expected more ... much much more. Regarding the "romantasy" category, Naomi Novik's A Deadly Education was far superior IMO.

Next, The Inverted World by Christopher Priest, a Hugo nominee 1975.
