Really enjoyed getting back to Fitz, the Fool, and Nighteyes. Heartbroken and devastated by the end. Time to get into the next one.

This book was a wild ride. I don't think it was the strongest book in the series. I still think The Butcher's Masquerade holds that title, for me, at least. So much happened in this book with lore and character story progression that made it a great part of the overall story but it didn't really feel like there was that much danger in it. The floor itself was "on rails" and it kind of felt like the characters were as well.
Overall, I enjoyed it. It was a fun time and the ending was insane as usual. I have no clue where the story is going to from here considering there are 2 books left and still a lot of floors to get through.
Ready for book 9 now!

This trilogy was good. I don't think it was near as good as Farseer, but I enjoyed it. it took me a bit to get into it as the first book was so different from Farseer and the different POVs threw me off. The story got progressively better as it went and characters that I hated I began to love and vice versa.
Robin Hobb is a master of layered characters. I found Kennit fascinating up until he did the irredeemable act in this book. I was not expecting that and it really soured his character completely for me.
Overall, I give the trilogy as a whole 4 stars. This book independently I give 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book. More than Ship of Magic. The characters grew as the story progressed. Some that I really liked in the first book or felt sympathy for I don't like at all now and others that I didn't care for I really want to succeed now. I still don't understand the serpents and feel like any chapter of them is just bogging down the story.
My only complaint about this trilogy so far is that it is so long. Really feels like you could lose 200-300 pages to tighten things up a bit and it wouldn't dramatically change things.

I enjoyed that way more than I expected. Made me cry at the end. I don't even know what to say. It was a great story with a remarkable ending. I loved the first book. The second book was great and I adored this one.
I am now fully into the Cosmere and can't wait to read more and get fully immersed in this universe. I am now all in on Brandon Sanderson.
