Here we are, starting the fourth series of Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings series. Interestingly, these books have been sitting on my shelf for the longest out of all of them; my friend got them either for my birthday or for Christmas years and years ago.
Like all of Hobbs' books, it's beautifully written, if slow. A lot of themes surrounding ableism in this one. I don't have a lot to say about it overall though; it felt as though there was something missing that I love in the Fitz books, which was even present in Liveship Traders. I couldn't begin to say what though.
Even still, this was an excellent way to start March.
I listened to most of it, and once again, Anna Flosnik does an excellent job.
