Robin Hobb is so good at writing men that are just insufferable. So insufferable that you just wanna grab them by the throat and hold their heads underwater until the bubbles stop. That is a compliment. 

Is it bad that I don’t give a shit about Kennit at all? I’m sure I’ll regret that later, but he’s pissing me off right now. And Kyle Haven and Regal Farseer are neck and neck for the number one man in the Realm of the Elderlings series that I want to set on fire.

Althea, my light and stars, you make horrible plans but you are too good for these people.
