While there were many things I enjoyed about this book, I think the thing I felt most was frustrated.  There was so much that felt like willful ignorance because things were explained well enough that I as the reader picked up on the meaning but that Fitz as the character did not and perhaps could not because they way they tried to explain things to him was not in one he could easily grasp and understand.

3.0

This one reads a lot slower until the end of the book again where so much happens in the last 140 pages that it feels rushed and some things glazed over after 2 books of build up (not sure if this trilogy is done yet). Overall the trilogy as a set is great, a bit plodding in parts but the characters make up for it. I grew to enjoy the wolf a bit more in this book. It left me wanting to know more about the wit and skilling so perhaps that will be in another book. Solid 3 stars for the series. Recommended for adventure and fantasy readers who like to dive into other realms when they read.
