Definitely a growing pains book for Robin Hobb. Not surprising, given it came out 37 years ago. The ending helped tie everything together, at least, but half of the book was written like a fever dream. That quality made it difficult to follow the point of the story at times, because it'd wander like a bored goat, but there are threads of Hobb's fascination with grief even in this early book.
Moderate: Sexual content, Drug use, and Violence
Minor: War
