A solid epic fantasy. Definitely slow to start, but builds up to climactic moments. Loved how it was wrapped up.

BUT GODDAMNIT WHY SO MANY DEAD DOGGIES!!!???

This book was incredible. It is very slow paced. Hobb takes great care to coax out the story unfolding before you and is not in a rush to do so. She also incorporates a lot of flowery prose that slows down the reading even further. But this story is incredible. And painful. We experience the story through the eyes of Fitz who is the bastard son of the prince-in-waiting Chivalry. We watch him grow from 6 years old into young adulthood as he learns to navigate this world that he was thrust into. He experiences so much and Hobb does not hold back any punches. Fitz goes through it in this installment and it just makes you want to wrap him in a hug and protect him. This will be a series I recommend to everyone.
