My heart hurts after reading this book. For fifteen years (or for me, two months) I have been without Fitz and his dear Fool. I wondered how different things would be. Would he be happy with his wolf Nighteyes? How did the appearance of a adoptive son be for him - a change for the good?

Fortunately all those questions were answered... but unfortunately for Fitz, he had to return to the life he knew under a guise and watch it all fall apart at the seams.

I marathon-ed this book in such a short amount of time. 35 year old Fitz is a delight to read, he is so bad ass and temperamental that I just want to hug him and tell him everything is all right. Yet he has the Fool to do that.

I was already spoiled over the loss of a certain character (the books have been around for a while, ya know), but still reading about it hurt. Robin Hobb, you just ... write so well and you make me feel things. I have a feeling by the end of this trilogy I'm gonna be feeling a lot of feels.

Onward I go...

As much as I loved the Liveship traders trilogy it felt good to be back to Fitz and the Fool. An awesome book that, despite a slightly slow beginning, brought me firmly back into the world of the Six Duchies. With some brilliant links to the previous trilogy that leaves you guessing. Ended in a brilliant way that has left me very much looking forward to reading the next book.
