Written Review
Well, I've heard Robin Hobb had excellent prose. Those reviews did not exaggerate one bit. Wow, this is beautifully written.
This was an excellent novel. Whoa. Holy cow, seriously, this was an incredible story. Something that I'd not thought about, reading in the first person was actually very enjoyable.
The character work is top-tier. I, wow, I really enjoyed this story. The plot, not like other stories I've read, was not the forefront of the prose. This was a story written for you to understand the characters. That didn't deter from the story at all, something I thought it would. This was such an exciting and interesting story.
I am very impressed, and I am excited to continue this series. Luckily there are like 16 books in this whole series.
There is a very intriguing magic system as well, that's something that I like reading. And this was something new and interesting to read about. There is some connection to animals, as well as mind-communication. It is really well written and described. I am happy to be in this world.
This story has been one of my favorites that I've read so far!
Memorable Quote
I jerked awake before the moon had surrendered her reign over the sky, amazed that I had slept at all.
Now, I've had boys of my own, and I know boys aren't that way. They don't learn, or grow, or have manners when you're looking at them. But turn away, and turn back, and there they are, smarter, taller, and charming everyone but their own mothers.
And as a gardener pulls a weed from the earth, he smiled, and pulled from the traitor all that was in him.
Men cannot grieve as dogs do. But we grieve for many years.
