Just as inane as Dragon Prince, only less interesting -- the protagonist is the prepubescent Pol, who isn't old enough to get into hilarious hijinks (yet...there are later books in this series). Nothing really happens in the way of plot. Most of the book is just people sitting around and carefully explaining the meaning behind their elaborate posturing. The reader is assumed to have mush for brains and thus incapable of understanding court subterfuge. Also, there's dragons.
