enjoyable and intriguing. loved the addition of nighteyes, and also loved kettricken in this book. i feel so bad for fitz and wonder whether he will ever get a break. 

pulled down by how slow the pace is sometimes, and also how frustrating some of the characters (mostly molly and fitz) can be. 

this is definitely different than any other fantasy ive read, and still looking forward to book 3.
