This book is very, very long. You'll read 100 pages about Fitz walking up a road. But if it hits you right, you'll love it.
Hobb's character work is beyond good. She is able to elicit tension, grief, jealousy and every other emotion under the sun with her writing. She also manages the first ever strong climax in this series, ending on a real high note.
I really struggled with either a 4 or 5 star rating here. While this is definitely a fantastic book I would recommend to anyone with the patience for it, I do feel it meandered a tiny bit more than Royal Assassin and that brought it down to 4 stars for me.
I am really torn by this final book, but I think the first trilogy is well wrapped up and we have no loose ends.
But it was soooooo sloooooow. That is why it looses 1 star for me. Could have been -200 pages and being perfect.
That was such a long and slow journey! took me 5 months to finish this.
