I don't know why, but Gwilanna's story of prejudice against dragons is just not compelling
the one earlier was reasonably good, but this telling falls flat
and it's not because Gwilanna is being mean, because here she's just telling facts

I guess, this depiction of the dragons feels flat. you don't really know what was lost.
I felt a lot more in WoF where individual dragons with personalities were being slaughtered senselessly (by other dragons)

> she's killed all the dragons   285

rain gets tired and makes deal with the devil   290

> found it and brought it back   309
interesting theme here - isn't that about what happened with the watch?

the snow is everybody that died in it   332

gwilanna wants to make a dragon king of the earth   355
Now I can't help but think, Icefire is the alternate timeline to Wings of Fire

> his spirit   363
Now hang on. how do they have a soul besides their fire? I thought "spirit" and the concept of fire here had the same definition

it occurs to me throwing David into the floor was some kind of echo of Guinivere supposedly drowning but really walking away on the ice   374

fire was the invention of winter   375
as opposed to only the tiniest shreds of ice I guess
we're maybe looking at a tropical planet vs ice age kind of thing

wait, no, Thoran turned into a polar bear   374
so it's at least gaia's invention of any cold climates.

but humans are still creating climate change   375

i'm increasingly doubting that bergstrom is a person and not the earth   378
she's a hedgehog, and a bear that possibly died, and Guinevere

the contract is cursed.   421
