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
Shun
made me want to scream with annoyance!
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.

Gosh darn it, Robin Hobb. I had sworn you off and I didn't even hate the Rain Wilds books, I just didn't need more of FitzChivalry somehow not seeing the obvious for hundreds of pages while we're all like "wait a tick, this seems weird, maybe think about it, Fitz?"

...still finished this book in one day, like I did the first three trilogies. I used to stay up til 2 in the morning reading these books, even when I was like "why is 15% of your personality yelling 'no homo' while loving The Fool as much as ever, FitzChivalry?"

Just wow. This book had me glued, I read through the night, read all all all day. I was enthralled with how this story progressed, so unexpected a plot and so cozy and vivid a telling. I was actually there with all of these characters. Plus, LOVED Bee and seeing this side of Fitz.

This started off super slow, but by page 200, I just devoured it and omg the second half plot??? Freaking wild and stressful, I just want to go home and pick up book 2. Also totally reading Bee as autistic coded
