4.0

It was good and I love Fitz but this book just seemed to drag - I don't know if this is because of uni work getting me down and im slightly in a reading slump but it just should not off taken over a month to read this.

After the 400 page mark I did want to pick it up but before that it seemed to drag and be slightly repetitive.

(Still love the Fool tho)

Trigger warnings: Death, animal abuse, abuse of characters.

Só não dou 5 estrelas porque tem MUITO mimimi no começo, e acho o Fitz extremamente imaturo. Ele já deveria ter crescido bastante a essa altura do campeonato. A burrice, inocência e lamentação dele me incomodou muito por boa parte do livro. Mas depois da metade fica cada vez melhor e o final é MUITO bom! Acabou compensando e eu até esqueci um pouco da raiva que senti dele em vários momentos. Não que ele fique inteligente, ele não fica, mas a trama do livro fica bem boa. E tem outros personagens legais para gostar, além do Fitz, então recomendo dar uma chance e superar os 50% iniciais. É página pra caramba para ignorar, mas vale a pena!
