I'm giving the show a chance, even though it looks like the creator's read The Wheel Of Time cliffnotes and made a show around them. 

Literally what is the point of these reviews? We all know that Dragonmount would never have the guts to actually criticize this show or offer any sort of substantive commentary on it. I clicked on this to give it a chance, but the second essay writer used the word "subtle" to describe the Dragon's Fang showing up in the trolloc's blood cloud, I gave up.  Loved her first book in this series, and loved this one even more. Great plot, expertly paced. I could picture this book as I read it. Love that the characters, even minor ones, are fully realized, complete with back stories. The plot and ending, the villains, were not over the top and the story felt authentic because of this. I am hooked and have the next installment downloaded.
