One of the best political fantasies I have ever read. Hobb grabs your attention in the best possible way, and leads you by the hand through this incredible and dangerous cutthroat world. Her way of writing is so beautiful and just builds layers upon layers of emotions and tension. Her characters are so well developed, and none of them overlooked. I can't even fully put into words how I feel about this series. I'm mostly just a bit starstruck, to be honest
