5.0

Such a beautifully, thoughtfully written "memoir" of a heartbreaking and intriguing childhood. Incredibly slow paced and character focused, but in my absolute favorite kind of way. This is the kind of story you sink into and immerse in to relish in the details of the world, the depth of the relationships, and let your heart be shattered in ways that don't feel cruel; Hobb earns every single heartbreak she invokes. I cannot wait to continue on Fitz's journey!
