Although we did see some of that, he was out for most of the book. I hated that we did get to see much of Arcus in Fireblood. He was one of my favourite characters in Frostblood, and I wanted to see how he was dealing with being King. There were things that Ruby did throughout Fireblood that really annoyed me to bits, but I liked to see her learn from them. But throughout Fireblood we start to see her accept that. While at the start of the novel and even in the first book, Ruby is really struggling with who she is. When character development is the pinnacle of the story.
