This is definitely a long book, and unfurls very slowly at times. It does feel a bit weaker than the other two books in the trilogy. It doesn't help that Nighteyes is absent for a while, or that one new character (Starling) was a bit of a dud for me, or that it gets very very repetitive at times. The ending also feels very rushed, especially in contrast with the pace of the rest of the book.
Still, you have to respect the epic scale, and Hobb's prose as always is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this world.
Moderate: Child death, Death, and Rape
