A very, very solid book. I enjoyed all of it (although the info dump about how ships work at the beginning was a bit heavy-handed), and Hava may be my favorite Graceling character yet. It was wonderful to watch her form real relationships for the first time in her life, even if she didn't realize it at the time. Learning to trust someone after a lifetime of (literal) hiding? It's not something that comes naturally to Hava, but she's learning.
I don't think they have therapists in the Graceling realm, but the entire Monsea kingdom could use them. (I think I made the same remark when I read Bitterblue.)
I received this for Christmas and was determined to not have to pack it into my luggage (since I'm moving back in a couple months), but thankfully the 600 pages were a quick read despite the length. Part of that was the formatting (every scene was a separate chapter with full page breaks, instead of just a small break mid-page, which increased its page count a bit) but also, it was just an easy, enjoyable read.
