Ok so maybe there’s some issues with pacing but it did not bother me. I loved reading about all the political and social structures within the world, and loved spending time with these characters.
It was a really good continuation of Graceling and Fire and built upon what happened years later. I really enjoyed it.
I think about this world all the time and will have a place in my heart forever.
Keep in mind though that you find out some very dark and disturbing confirmation of what Leck has done.
I’m going to read Winterkeep (the fourth book in the series) for the first time and am very curious on what Cashore will continue to develop.
