Nobody shipped molly and Fitz right?
This is a review full of spoilers and without a lot of sense.
If the whole book would have been as exciting and interesting as the last 20% I wouldn’t have taken down my headphones for one waking second.
It wasn’t. How I hated Molly and Regal. I hated molly not for herself but for the sole ANNOYANCE I felt in every scene with her.
Regal goes without explanation.
Most of the book, not much happened. But as others pointed out as well, at this point one is interested in Fitz as a character and care for what happens to him.
The lack of plot over so many pages is the reason why I did not rate it with 5 starts. But politics are amazingly written. I love the coast vs. Inlander conflict and hope to read more of it!
I really liked the twist of who killed the king. And all the interactions with the fool. I see why people ship those too.
Nighteyes having sex with molly was so casually mentioned and Fitz witnessing his uncles sex life through his eyes also…weird? I was laughing.
