This book is needlessly long, spends way too much time on inane plot points, and is just generally drug out due to the way web serials work. That being said, it’s almost addicting to read. You’re always being drug forward and shown something new and crazy. I’ll keep reading every one until it’s all over. Truly a hallmark of the genre.

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!

What a beautifully written book! While there were some parts that didn’t work for me and others that felt a little wasted, the overall plot kept me gripped throughout and wondering just how it was all going to connect. Wrapping up a mystery is the downfall of so many books but this was handled quite nicely. Overall, a really good read though I’m not sure I’ll read any of the others.
