Thanks Snowdrop Nightspirit

And we are back in the Oracle world and we finally get Lichen's book. I loved seeing Lichen all grown up and found it interesting to see how the reemergence of the Dragon of Earth changed the way he was treated within the Castes. 
The Castes have a lot to answer for in this series. While the oracle was looking elsewhere the castes ran amok and got above themselves. Most of the castes have fixed themselves with the dragons coming forward but the Water caste still has work to do. 
I loved Lichen and his disappointment when he tested into the Ether Caste. it made sense to me and I loved watching him work out how to use the water talent.
I also loved Meril with how he came to Lichens aid and then returned to the monastery with them. 
I do feel that while this one the story was fine and answered most of the questions, I feel like it skimmed the information and could have gone further in, but it was a short easy read so there was only so much that could be done in the timeframe.
Great addition to the series
