Way to short, missed opportunity to go into depth on pretty much everything and moves too fast. Listened with my wife my second time around and she misses so many key plot points because nothing is given time, so much of it is bam bam bam we dont have time absorb what’s being said and understand what’s really happening. For instance, *spoiler* little blue loses her case and is free, how does Lindon feel about that? Does he notice how she’s resting to the world?

Dross explains what ghostwater was made for so quick. No story about ghostwater and how it changed once northstrider leaves other than it was raided by heralds.

Why doesn’t Lindon try and figure out how any of ghostwater works and how the pools create these priceless elixirs?

Why don’t we get better visuals of what this amazing pocket world looks like? When he first arrives the explanation of what the world looks like is so short and leaves so many questions. Okay it’s a bubble and they are on a beach with blackness behind them… is the blackness above them too sense they are in a bubble? Where is the light coming from? Is there a smell… things I will always wonder
