You know that feeling when you finish a long and deeply involved series. Where you don't know what you're going to do with your life now that is over... That. But like, more even.

This book was long. It could easily have been two books. Because it really is two stories. It dragged die the first 60% and many reviews I've read found this first half to boring. Personally I loved every minute of it. But I am a sucker for a long drawn or fantasy strory.

Most of the series, never mind the book is taken up with Fitz feeling very sorry for himself, I've got het over that it is very entertaining.

The ending is action packed, and all the plot lines that have been built up to over the long ball are addressed, most satisfactorily.

Robin Hobb will forever be a firm favourite of mine from now on.

“If a minstrel must embroider the truth to help us recall it fully, then let her, and let no one say she has lied. Truth is often much larger than facts.”
