It took me a week, and only because I was trying very hard to read slowly.
Gosh, it was so good and as always Robin Hobb delivers a very satisfying end that leaves you feeling so content and happy.
Best scene ever; Hest arriving at Kelsingra and seeing both Alise and Sedric happy without him. And even with his idiotic reasoning you could feel the pain. Ha ha ha ha ha! Bit of a cop-out about him getting eaten by Kalo though. Oh well.
Thymarra and Tats finally getting together was good, although I wished it would have happened a bit earlier than the last page. And I must admit to looking ahead in the book just to make sure that baby Ephron would make it (even though I kind of knew he would).
Selden and the Dutchess was pretty good too, and quite graphic about the Duke sucking his blood and all that. In the end I was happy not to have to experience the Dukes downfall, she did well leaving that out. It was also soooo lovely (yay yay yay) to see Brashen and Althea and Paragon again, even if it was very brief...
I do feel she has left it open to write more. I mean, lots of stories have only just begun. And who knows, maybe one day we will see good old Fitz again too. It was nice to have IceFyre there to remind you that Fitz isn't really that far away storywise.
Well, no real lows in this story, it was all great. I must say I do not care overly much for the dragons, but the humans and Elderlings make up for it tenfolds. So yes.
BEAUTIFUL BOOK! Yaaaaaay
