Fool's Errand

It feels strangely good to be emotionally traumatized again.

The first third was a bit slow, but once it gets going, it gets going. I can only imagine the next two are going to be really great, since they get to build off of this one.

As an aside, if you're going through the Realms of the Elderlings series for the first time, I highly recommend you read the Liveship Traders trilogy first before jumping into this one (instead of going directly to this right after Assassin's Quest). It gives tons of background information, gets referenced every now and then, and maybe most importantly, it makes the time that has passed in between books feel more natural.
