This story has a good ending. A really strong finish to close out the trilogy. Something I was not expecting for the first half of the book. Nicely done Robin Hobb.
For the first half of this book I was a little bemused as to the direction the story took. Most of the book Nevare is a passenger in his own body as his Speck self (AKA Soldier's Boy) takes charge. Nevare, who has been a very passive sort of character for a lot of the series is now stripped completely of any agency or potential agency ...more

Such a peculiar trilogy…
Before starting this last trilogy (still completely bedazzled from all the Elderling trilogies) I kept wondering why on earth this trilogy received such low ratings. But I think I got it now. It’s not that this is a bad series: it’s just not up to Robin-Hobb-standard, and whatever Hobb book isn’t up to that standard will feel like a low point – even if that assessment isn’t deserved in the grand scheme of fantasy literature.

A nice ending to the series... though this series is definitely not on par with the Farseer, Rainwilds and Liveship books. Overall this book and the series were an enjoyable read however I don't envision reading this one again in the future. Which is something I have done with the Farseer, Rainwilds and Liveship books already!

I rate this book, and the whole series in general around the 3.5 mark. I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone who isn't already a Hobb fan. It's not her best work. But as a fan, I did enjoy parts of it immensely. This book did drag a bit in parts, around the halfway point especially. However, the last couple of hundred pages were quite engrossing. The series concluded really well in my opinion.
