Robin Hobb has a way with words that is just mesmerizing! This booked captured me in ways no other fantasy book has, it hooked me from beginning to end. 

The plot itself isn't that grand or unique, and it was interesting enough to keep me invested. However, the book shines in its characters, their intricacies, relationships, and the rich world they live in. 

This book isn't flashy with intricate magic systems and tons of actions scenes, and is regarded as a “slow burn” read. This I have found, really suits me as I have come to enjoy character driven stories. 

The story is still filled with many mysteries,  interesting and unique magical powers, and cleverly crafted plot twist that had me at the edge of my seat. 

I came to really care for the many characters and their ties with one another. I rooted for some, cried for others, and at times felt betrayed. 

I'm fully invested in Fitz's journey through this harsh and unforgiving world he lives in! Can't wait to pick up the second book! 

 

This is a book that lives on your bedside table, to be returned to and read slowly, while meditating on its meaning , and how to apply it on our daily lives. Another nice short book by the great teacher.

There is so much to unpack here. This is a book that lives on your bedside table, to be returned to and read slowly, while meditating on its meaning , and how to apply it on our daily lives. This isn't a dogma, but a a clear description in the nature of being.

After ~40 percent the novelty wears off. I like the idea of a video game-esque book, with tons of gear, leveling up, boss fights, upgrades, a big dungeon, etc. However, it failed to keep me interested half way through the book until the end.

I see the attractiveness of this book and the series as a whole. It is very easy to read, it’s very funny at times, with ridiculously wild scenes. The premise and cliffhanger at the end is enough to keep me interested and will continue reading the series.
