Cried so much during this book. Heartbroken…. To think a trilogy named for the tawny man would end so sadly for him… I feel like a cored apple and somehow have to get through more books after this… This book alone was such an emotional rollercoaster I’m exhausted and empty inside and also I miss the Fool so bad already it’s so painful to read about Fitz being content without him while I still have that heartbreaking poem running through my head…

Slow book with lots of repetition as seems to be the style of this author, not as repetitive as some of their earlier works. Enjoyable for listening to while crafting. Plot follows Fitz through character development as an adult.
