Well, not too much spoilers for now actually.
I just agree that this late introducing of Hiccup's mother can feel a bit... Surprising. However, the way she is may be as good an explanation as her assumed death for her lack of prior presence.
Anyways, I have to say I've been surprizingly pleased by the turn of this book!
I knew the whole serie was children books, but this one felt somehow like it had more depth, like it dealt with some more serious concerns in the back of the story, like the way some details entangled and ended up was slightly beautifully symbolic.
And after the five (including HTTYV) previous ones it was both surprizing and enjoyable.
Anyone having gone that far in the books to share more thoughts?
