Wow. This is a (very) slow build, but the end is *chef's kiss*. Fitz is a bit nondescript in the first half or so, but he really grew on me, and there was a more instant connection with Patience, Verity and the characters from the mountain kingdom. I hate hate hate
Regal

The red-ship raiders are also very scary.
