I want to wax philosophical about how everything that needed to be settled did and how things are never as tidy but
stephanieridiculous's review against another edition
DNFing after about 5%.
I endured so much bad writing to make it to book 3, and I'm just not having a good time. Looking at the reviews of this, also, shows that all of it was for naught anyway. I absolutely cannot fathom the continued violence against women, and the ultimate fate of our original heroine. I want to believe it's meant to be a larger commentary on something, but I can't find it. It's just awful, and a total departure from what I loved about the other books in this overall setting.
I'm continuing on with the other books in the Realm of the Elderlings series, but my tolerance for Hobb's bad instincts has been eroded and I'll be quick to drop further installments that flirt with this horrific toxicity.
