It's funny, this book actually has very little plot, but it still manages to fill 740 pages that are devoured with ease. Bee has been kidnapped, and Fitz and the Fool are reunited at last - but both are forever changed by their pasts. A large part of this book is preparation for what's to come, with Fitz being infuriatingly stubborn while the Fool once again found a way to outsmart him.

Towards the end of this volume, it seems like everything finally comes together. And I truly mean everything - all 14 books that came before this one. This is of course when Fitz

arrives in Kelsingra, together not with the Fool, but with Amber. And we see Fitz with the Skill and the Wit alongside the Dragons and the Elderlings with the Silver.

But of course, it ends on a cliffhanger, so I expect that the final volume will neatly tie all of those vast silvery threads together, worthy of such a monumental series.
