Unbelievably good writing.  No one does slow burn character work like Robin Hobb, and here she wields that power to it's fullest.  Also has some of the most heart-wrenching and romantic writing I've ever read.

Slower middle book, sets up the third one but is pretty annoying by itself.

The book is only good because the characters are so well developed and loveable. Almost nothing happens plot wise in this book.
