I enjoyed this book but it seemed to drag on a bit compared to the first book. The story is compelling and I’m committed to the characters now so I’ll continue with the series.

Hobb, Feist, Eddings. Equals in their field. Amazing stories brought to life in my imagination.

Uninteresting characters, poor character development, and simple plot line.

as i am now on my 3rd reread through the whole series i think you can imagine how much i love Robin Hobb’s work. no series has ever spent as much time in my heart and my mind as these. Every character means so much to me. they are my friends, my family, my lovers, and my enemies. forever my favorite series

This was a great trilogy. You know how some books take a while to build momentum? Well, this trilogy, for me, slows down towards the end quite a bit but already hooked and have to finish obviously. I recommend it just be prepared to work for the end.

But very good

Powerful, soul-stirring, deeply imagined, and beautifully constructed.

Annoyed that after reading the first book in this series at 1.99 the second book went from 5.99 to 8.99. Wouldn't doubt that this app is increasing the price of books in the genre I prefer. Think I need to renew my library card..

This book has been unavailable for days. You can download the sample but not purchase.

The young assassin returns, matures, and delights. The characterizations are deep and consistent, and although the layers of the tale part slowly, there is enough action to balance the development of the plot. Extremely well written and imagined.
