 I couldn't seem to put this book down. It is very imaginative and captivating. The world-building and magic are excellent. Robin Hobb does excellent character work. You really hate the bad guys but also have sympathy for them. No one is all bad or all good in these books.

I do caution that there is a lot of violence, sexual assault and it is very dark.
