Now the central character is an adult - and the complexities of his relationships are ever more tangled.
The matter of loyalty and allegiance at odds with other strongly held values is a recurrent theme here - and, as in life, unresolvable without compromise.
The twists and turns of the plot were enough to keep me reading to the last page … and wanting more!

Sometimes a distressing read, if the reader feels empathy for the central character. Worth it - to see our daily complexities in a different way.karlin0336's review against another edition

I've enjoyed meeting new friends who I will absolutely revisit in the next book and probably revisit in the next 14. Before I started this trilogy, I thought there was no way I was going to read EVERTHING in the Realm of the Elderlings universe. How did people do it?? Now, I understand. We love getting emotionally wrecked by Robin Hobb.
