About the author

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

Reviews

[Krystal · Rating 2 out of 5]

One of the better issues of the series so far. There was a bit more going on here, though it's still dark and dull and not particularly enticing.

Bit more character development here, but still very underwhelming.

I'm honestly not sure why I'm still reading this series.

Another strong issue. Reading this keeps reminding me of why I love Robin Hobb and her world! It always feels like coming back to friends.
