Took me forever to finish this but it was very good. Hobb is a huge talent. This is a good return to Fitz's story, and it has some strange aspects but is nowhere near the extreme weirdness of the Soldier Son trilogy. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next book.

It's been 20 years since I read Fool's Fate. I've read The Liveship Traders, Rain Wild Chronicles and Soldier Son (least favourite RH books) but nothing compares to the stories of Fitz and the Fool. It's like coming home ...
