A review by corvusastrum
Der Erbe der Schatten by Robin Hobb

slow-paced

2.75

You know, most part of this book wasn't too bad, except for the excrutiatingly slow pacing and the baffling stupidity of Fitz. But the more I got into this book, the more it seemed like fanfiction. It feels like there were too many plot threads that Hobb couldn't tie together anymore, so she just made shit up and stuffed the gaps with Deus Ex Machina. Also I waited this entire book to see Verity again, one of the best characters in the series,
and when we f i n a l l y find him he's not himself anymore and then just poofs. Literally.
In the end we get to know how every character we know is doing and how their life is going, and the entire time I had this gutting sense of disbelief. This is it. I'm so disappointed.
