Wow this was truly amazing. I feel like Robin Hobb just keeps on getting better with her writing.
I could barely put this down at times. It is slow and sometimes not a lot happens, but I just know that every little detail builds up to something.
I truly sometimes want to go inside the book and just shake Fitz for being so stupid. Like who wouldn’t recognize an extremely pale person as a messenger from the Fool?!
Oh and Molly! I never truly cared for her, but seeing her together with fits and caring for child so lovingly, that was considered „simple“ aka disabled. My heart broke, when she died so suddenly, but well it‘s Robin Hobb, it was to be expected.
I am so curious to get the full mythology behind Bee. She is Fitz‘s and the Fool‘s child? And she has the Skill and the Wit?
Oh damn I am excited for the next book, but as the same time I am dreading the what will happen and dreading the end of this wonderful series.
