They finally made it! Or so you thought... Sometimes I feel like Hobb uses plot devices to artifically prolong her plots, and it's the same with this book. The 2-book-long journey to Kelsingra finally ended, but they still haven't really 'arrived' there yet, have they?
What I did like about this book though, was that finally some of the characters from The Liveship Traders are starting to play a bigger role - which I kinda expected from the first two books in Rain Wild Chronicles, from which they were rather absent.
This book is thankfully a lot shorter than most of this series, and thus moving at a more bearable pace. It still very much is setting up the finale. And I already dread what's gonna happen there, because everything points towards utter devastation by capitalism, too much like the real world. But I guess the dragons will have a few words to say on that.
