This one was more or less a set up for the next but one that intrigued me at points, frustrated (in the good way) at others. The exploration of Fitz’s relationship with the Fool continues and keeps me engaged the whole way while drip feeding more information about the Skill and the Wit. Watching the Liveship Traders trilogy interweave it amazing and Hobb’s subtly is masterful.
