YMMV / The Summer King Chronicles

• Alas, Poor Villain: Sverin after Caj brings him back from being Nameless is a hollow shell of a once-proud king.
• Catharsis Factor: Halvden getting his tail kicked.
• Fantastic Aesop: Colonialism is Easily Forgiven if your colonizers were fleeing mindless monsters out for their blood.
• Ho Yay: Some moments between Shard and Kjorn make them seem like more than wingbrothers at times.
• Moe: Hikaru, full stop. A rapidly growing, Constantly Curious child dragon.
• Popular with Furries: As with many xenofiction works. Avian and fantasy creature fans form the bulk of the series' small following.
• The Woobie:
  • Shard. From suffering from All of the Other Reindeer as he grows up, to finding out he's The Chosen One and being sent on a long, grueling quest across the world and having to leave friends behind wherever he goes, you just want to give him a pet behind the ears.
  • Astri. She was already a Shrinking Violet before she loses her mate and is never the same afterward.
