Here we are again, the middle book of a Hobb trilogy. I really think she hits her stride in these second books. The pace has built up a bit from the first, and it sets up the third one nicely.

There were a couple of emotional scenes in this that are certainly appreciated by a long time reader of this overall series. I won't go into it, but they alone made this book something special. I hope they are a good preview of what's to come in Book #3, which I'll be starting soon. ...more

Now we're talking! This one is excellent. Buckkeep court has always been one of the most exciting parts in the Farseer novels and oh boy do I love the political intrigues! And we have characters from the Liveship trilogy as well. Now I know why Hobb's novels should be read in order. I wish I hadn't read the Rain Wilds novels before this. ...more

Robin Hobb makes it so hard to not rate her books 5 stars. But, compared to her other books, I have to go 4 stars as this seemed more like a transition book to get to the next and final book in the Tawny Man Trilogy. I'm so excited to start it. ...more

This one has me frustrated. I can only hope the third brings it to a satisfying conclusion. I'm very disgusted at the way she brings things to a huge climax and then drops it, like the confrontation between Fitz and the Fool. I'm frustrated at Fitz and would like to beat him about his head for his stupidity, for his betrayal of the Fool. Well, I guess we'll see what happens next. ...more
