First of all, thank you to my best friend for this great gift! I really liked this reading, although it was a little long at times! I was also a little spoiled on the plot because, in France, we have an adaptation of this trilogy in comics (and I read them years ago 😅). But that didn't stop me from rediscovering this story and appreciating it. I love that Fitz is not the archetype of the hero. He does not necessarily succeed in everything (very little in fact), and he remains quite "simple", surrounded by everybody else. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys politics and conspiracy stories!
