This series has quickly become an all-time favorite for me. More than anything I love Hobb’s character work. Both our main character Fitz and the cast of side characters hold a special place in my heart, and I find myself feeling genuine emotion for them (fear when they're in danger, heartbreak when bad things happen, joy when they're successful). The thing that holds this back from being a full five stars is that it’s a little long, and occasionally some of the romantic side plot elements felt tedious. I don't dislike the romance, but they spend much of the book going over and over the same conversation, and it gets quite redundant after a while. Still, to say I felt anything other than love for this book would be a lie, and I am both excited and nervous to read book three as I'm sure it will absolutely break me.
