oh boy. this is lush, intricately detailed fantasy and hobb is clearly a master at her craft, but my god was this a <i>slow</i> start. i feel like this is the sort of book that i’ll see with new appreciation as i continue on with the many books in this world, but this initial read was a bit challenging to feel properly immersed in until about the two-thirds mark
