A good continuation of the first book in terms of pacing. Unfortunately not a lot happened again and I felt like there some weird time jumps, when we just get to know retrospections from the characters about a small but not insignificant event
like for example when Greft proposes to slaughter one of the dragons for its parts
. Some parts felt a bit rushed and and thereby I felt like they didn’t have the impact they should have had
for example the miscarriage, Greft‘s death and even the ending
. Still I love Robin Hobb‘s writing style and the lore of this series so I will definitely keep reading!
PS I love how everybody seems to have the best gaydar now (except Alise lol)
