It's funny how memories of a book get distorted with time. I would have sworn the events happening towards the end of book 2 (no spoilers) happened in fact in book 3. And so, while I get a tiny bit tired of Robin Hobb's habit of repeating herself, and her entish ability to take a very long time to say things, I'm actually surprised to see the plot pick up pace in this volume. Well, towards the end at least. I think the Rain Wild Chronicles is the most queer-friendly of all her series even though the world isn't queer-friendly, because it's all about becoming one's true self and taking back one's independence. It feels both invigorating and sadly necessary in our day and age.
Rep: gay characters.
