A wonderful and entertaining continuation of the second of Robin Hobb’s trilogies focusing on FitzChivalry Farseer and those who share his life and world (and the third of her overarching Realm of the Elderlings series). This one does a lot to grow our understanding of both Fitz and The Fool/Lord Golden/Amber and has plenty of insightful and impactful moments, but spends more time dealing with the fallout of the previous book and setting things up for the next than doing a lot of its own, despite some intriguing political machinations and new information on the books’ unique magic system.
