Hobb has broken me. Best RotE book so far. And the worst. Such beautiful human moments of vulnerability and simplicity. I love the domestic focus of much of the book and the themes Hobb explores. But also there are moments of pure horror and terror and I found myself constantly stressed for the characters. I don't know how I will ever manage to reread this one, I was so nervous. I pity the people who had to wait for the next book cause I am a mess and I can still pick up the next one immediately.
