I tried reading this book multiple times and put it down when I was uncertain how I felt about how it was progressing.  I’m glad that this time I persevered because it is a very engaging start to a story that lays a lot of groundwork for a tale that I think I’d like to follow.

Lower magic system than I’m used to. Reads like a historical fiction with lots of court politics.

Was on the slower side for sure and I hope animals will end up a bigger part of the story. I want Fitz to get a dog he can keep so badly.
