4.5

Definitely a strong follow up from the farseer trilogy which I loved.  Hobb has done a great job of expanding the world she started in her first trilogy, showing there is a lot of story left to tell. The book makes great use of multi-pov storytelling to really make the reader invested in the characters, and there aren't any I didn't have strong feelings for as their individual stories unfolded and contributed to the overall plot. It's definitely very slow paced, which is the only thing stopping it being a full 5 stars for me, but absolutely worth your time and effort to read, and I'm looking forward to the next two in the series.
