Horses and dogs dream, as anyone who has ever watched a hound yipping and twitching in dream pursuit well knows. Their dreams had been like the sweet rising waft from a baking of good bread. But now, isolated in a room walled with stone, I finally had time for all those devouring, aching dreams that are the portion of humans. I had no warm dam to cozy against, no sense of siblings or kin stabled nearby.

I fell in love with Robin Hobb's writing last year when I first read this book. I went on to binge read the next 8 books. I'm yet to complete Rain Wild Chronicles quintet and the final Fitz and the Fool trilogy.

I'm going to reread the first 3 trilogies before continuing with the rest of the series. I'm trying not to choke up after reading the first page. This series is emotionally devastating! :|

Finally, something happens that's worth the word 'fantasy'. But the 33% of the book is worth the wait, I love how this story is driven mostly by character descriptions and development. Until now. Now it looks like shit's going to go down. Hell yeah!

All events, no matter how earth-shaking or bizarre, are diluted within moments of their occurrence by the continuance of the necessary routines of day-to-day living.

So true. Liking the book so far.
