Just thought I would mention hear the paragraph in the section about her relationship with Hiccup is a little inaccurate. She did want to marry Hiccup. She just realized the time want't right, that Hiccup had gone through a lot. The quote from Dean DeBlois in the Art Book about is this, "Early on in the story, Gobber suggests Hiccup and Astrid should stop stirring up trouble, making enemies, and saving dragons. Instead, they should stay at home and rule like a proper royal couple, which means getting married. She [Astrid] bristles at the idea, though we later discover that she wants to get married but doesn't think Hiccup's ready. And she's right. Hiccup has lost so much, including his father. He is afraid of change. He focuses on Toothless as a security blanket and won't let go of the idea that coexistence with dragons is possible. Astrid points out that bringing the dragons back to Berk is not working. Hiccup's solution is to move somewhere else, but she understands they might being doing something wrong and maybe the dragons need to return to the wild. It's an issue they need to resolve before they can move on with their relationship." So that paragraph needs to be rewritten to reflect what Dean said in the quote better.
