Having two PoVs was a refreshing change from previous Farseer books! I can see how this book sets up the final trilogy nicely, there's a lot of "scene setting" and introduction of plots. Robin Hobb is an excellent writer - the character

Molly's death was heartbreaking for both Fitz and Bee and I was thinking about it for days.

Ended on a cliffhanger and I am keen to see how the next books starts - straight continuation or time jump.
