This book should be read after both "Farseer" and "Liveship" trilogies. 

Getting to spend time with Fitz and Nighteyes again is such a comfort, getting back in touch with tje world and picking up the threads of their life. 
Hobb's characters always shine abd steal the show, seeing old faces made me emotional and meeting new chatacters was exciting. 

Fitz is slowly pulled back into the world of Farseer politics and the tension and plot sucked you in to this dangerous world.

I love Hobb's writing, world building, storytelling and the way she makes you have such string feelings about her chatacters.

I can't recall a time in my past where I was jealous of another writer's writing. Most books I read, I can enjoy the prose itself, but it doesn't tug at me. Tolkien, I think, sometimes, but I'm never jealous of him because Tolkien is just the paragon of beautiful prose for me. But Hobb's writing just fills me with an intense longing, a wish that someday I could write like her but the knowledge that I'll never be able to. 

Hobb's prose is wonderful, her plotting tight and well-planned out.  I spent this entire book waiting for a certain event to happen, and when it finally did I cried a lot. And let's be real, my favourite books are the ones that make me sob.

Fitz and The Fool, now posing as the fashionable foreign noble Lord Golden, return to the political intrigue of the Six Duchies after a long absence. Their return will be welcome to fans of Robin Hobb’s sprawling Realm of the Elderlings series as Fitz’s psychology is further explored and his relationships with The Fool, his beloved wolf Nighteyes, and the others with whom he’s shared his life are both deepened and challenged. To top it all, readers will find one of the fastest-paced and most self-contained stories in the series so far, without sacrificing the character development and extensive worldbuilding that make the series so memorable.
