Lower magic system than I’m used to. Reads like a historical fiction with lots of court politics.

Was on the slower side for sure and I hope animals will end up a bigger part of the story. I want Fitz to get a dog he can keep so badly.

I haven‘t read a western fantasy novel set in a world completely new to me in some time, and this novel was perfect to ease me back into it and remind me of how good fantasy is when written with competence and care. I developed attachment to the characters, including some complicated feelings and changing opinions as the story progressed, and I was right there with Fitz as he tried to understand the weight of his orders and the intrigues of the world he‘d been given to.
