I wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. A lot of formalities, unique words, and old styles of phrasing pulled me out of the story. The story itself was really engaging and interesting, but I was bouncing off from the prose so hard. I don't recall if the previous books in the series were written the same way, but if they were on it could easily just be a mood thing.

This was a really cool world that is unfortunately filled with really forgettable, wooden characters, frustrating pacing, and some really uncomfortable situations. Still kept my interest, but maybe a case of its reputation coming by way of being first rather than actually good.

Much like the first book in this series, this is a masterclass in character work. You just feel so strongly for Fitz and Robin Hobb really draws you in with her narrative. The villains are eminently relatable to the point you’re seething right along with our protagonist. I can only hope this trilogy sticks the landing!

It’s hard to put my finger on why this isn’t a 5-star book. It might just be in comparison to how good books 1 and 2 were that made this one feel slightly off. Regardless, an extremely satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and an enjoyable read. As a whole, the trilogy is certainly worth reading!
