What follows is some of the most frustrating reading I've had in this series for some time. It picks up exactly where Fool's Errand left off, the same evening, the same setting. And what follows is Fitz making some of the most idiotic and pigheaded decisions I've ever seen, which is impressive because he's never been a very level-headed character. The amount of times I wanted to strangle him was... A lot.
But there's a lot of good, solid character work in this book too. Fitz grows *a lot,* and a lot of it is very satisfying to see.There's also a huge heaping of homophobia and ableism in this book, which is probably why I docked a star (this does not mean the AUTHOR is homophobic or ableist, but the characters are certainly). There's also not a whole lot of interaction between Fitz and the Fool, and I think this book suffers for it, but I'm hoping to see more in the next book!

The characters are homophobic and ableist, but that doesn't mean the author is.
