It was nice to delve deeper into these complex characters and the lore of the elderlings realm. It is quite a long book but I felt like the plot was consistently going with the same pace. Can‘t wait to find out what happens next!

Robin Hobb once again delivers a book full of captivating concepts and characters so bafflingly executed that it begs the question. When we will learn. Never.
