However, there were several stretches that I did enjoy, particularly with Verity and Fitz early on in the book. Learning more about the Fool was also nice, and he had some great moments.
I did enjoy this book at the end of the day. I simply hope book 3 speeds up the pace and feels more engaging with the plot and direction we're headed with the characters.
