Slow to start but worth it in the end. I’m unsatisfied by the ending but that just makes me all the more eager to pick up the next book.

booksthatburn's review against another edition

I remember liking this in high school but I think my tastes have changed significantly since then. There's a lot of ableism (internal and external) as Fitz navigates the new state of his body after the events of last book. I don't like how his early epiphany about how his body still can do things amounts to "at least I'm disabled, not elderly", which is extremely frustrating.
