My main gripe is really the pacing and the extension of the traveling. Hobb seems to really struggle with dragging at certain points in her books. But the plot was far more focused out of the three books which I appreciated.
Altogether this is probably my favorite of the Farseer trilogy, and I'm now fairly excited to continue reading Realm of The Elderlings.
Moderate: Blood
