Slow build on this one but it was nice taking the time to catch up with Fitz and where he's been since the last time we saw him. As usual I love Hobb's writing and am interested to see where the story goes from here.

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.
