I was going to savour it, take my time think over every chapter before I start the next one... Obviously that didn't work out for me.After finishing, I'm still at a loss why Fool doesn't like Verity. He's a good person, perhaps a bit selfish and... weak, living vicariously through Fitz. Still, why?I...

Going to try write a shorter review this time. Reviewing the middle of a trilogy is really hard! Suffice to say, once again Robin Hobb hit all the right notes for me. All the characters continue to show real development, although not always in good ways, and without the worldbuilding necessary in ...

Like the first, it is interesting at the beginning and end, but weak in the middle. The problem this time around is that the middle is sooooo much longer.Hobb always seems to breeze over the interesting plot points, yet dwell laboriously on the emotional points. I cannot understand why she feels she...

Rating not because it was a bad book (which it wasn't!) but mostly because I didn't get any pleasure from reading it. It was exasperating. I just wanted to get done with it.

Another brilliant story about Fitz. I love him. He grabs my emotions and drags them around with him until I'm not exactly sure how I feel.This helping just made me even more emotionally confused, empty and drained. I cried, I laughed, I was shocked and I was excited and disappointed. There's not...
