3.75 stars. A good, interesting start to this series, but it took me a while to get into it. Though I enjoyed it, the pacing was often a bit off, and I'm still trying to decide what the actual plot of the book was. More than anything it seemed to just be... the beginning. ...more

I really enjoyed this book, but at the samee time I wasn't really blown away. The whole book was basically set up for the rest of the series, which is normal for a first book in a fantasy series.
I really enjoyed the characters, although, so far, I have only really become attached to one or 2 of them.
The best thing about this book was probably Robin Hobb's writing, although it took me some time to get into it. After that it was a really quick read. ...more

I don't know anything to say about this book other than what has already been said. But now I know what all the fuss is about. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
