adventurous
dark
emotional
tense
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
this book literally took up every waking thought of my mind. i couldn’t stop thinking about it. it’s genuinely
incredible!!!!! honestly hobb is such a mastermind, the intricacies of the plot, and how everything ends up coming together, it’s just brilliant.
i don’t think i’ve ever felt stronger and more intense emotions while reading a book. it’s so great at bringing all that happens to life. i’ve never hated fictional characters as much as i hate some people in this book. but i’m a great way if that makes sense. i’ve never felt so anxious and stressed while reading, or so relieved when it all
turns out okay. the relationships that are set up and played out are amazing, and of course the world building and descriptions are great too.
this series is really a once in a generation experience. i cant say enough good things about them. i’ve only just finished it and all my thoughts are still simmering around, i don’t feel like i can write them
down properly.
fitz is everything to me, and so is burrich and verity. i love reading about their stories and their lives, i’m so invested😭 can’t even put it into words. might add on later. i just want everything to be okay for them ;—;
despite it being a really long and slow paced book, no part of it ever felt boring or unnecessary. i couldn’t put it down, and when i had to i couldn’t wait to pick it back up again. once again, if i could rate this more than 5 stars i would.
this book really is a master class of character, plot and fiction
