Third book in the series and this is the beginning of his actual shift from being a peasant. That said there is still plenty of dungeon adventure, steamy times with his dragon girlfriend, and deals to be negotiated. I liked the shift in perspective that is beginning to happen as he moves from nothing to holding more status. This is another example of the old adage “Heavy is the head that wears the crown” too much to do and not enough time. The change here is a move from doing it all yourself to leaning on others. This is the same growing pain that every small business faces as it takes off and really the point where the ability to get bigger is determined. Excited to see where the next two books takes us.
