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.
