5.0

I would give this book a six out of five if I could. Absolutely smashing and riveting. Characters who you can absolutely relate to, love and hate. Hobb has a real gift in immersing the reader so deeply in the character's perspective that gets you empathizing even with the most annoying and terrible characters. It was extremely plotty, with many threads left to pull on to sustain a second or third book and which I shall start on soon.
