Talk:Book 7: Flashback/@comment-74.96.219.190-20181110160712/@comment-32987979-20181110214530

Uh, I agree. Of course you can't expect every book to be spectacular, but this one was just soooo looked forward to. Between the chapters and chapters of pretty uneventful scenes of Sophie and Fitz recovering, and all the battle training, I feel like I got super excited for a pretty dull book. Actually, the good scenes were really good, but the not so great scenes were... well, not so great. The ending had me quite upset as well, both for Sophie and Alvar. But I realize I'm bordering dangerously close to spoiler territory, so I guess anyone who has read the book will get what I'm saying. And as for the new characters... some were good, some were not. Ugh, the spoiler limitations are painfully keeping me from going on a rant! But here's what I wanted to see:

More of Alvar

More of Bo and Ro

Amy! (I was really hoping she'd make a proper return)

What I didn't like:

Boring battle training

Boring recovery

Not enough character development for the newly introduced characters (specifically Tarina and Umber)

What I liked:

More focus on Tam and Fitz (I feel like Keefe has kind of made it hard for these characters to shine)

The tribunal scene

The attack scene at the start (not going into specifics cause of spoilers but, it was pretty awesome though fast-paced and a bit confusing)

The cover (I really like how the goblin throwing star is raised kind of, makes it look 3D. Am I spoiling the cover too much? Can you spoil a cover?)
