Oof, okay.

So this was a weird one. There was a lot I really loved, and there were a few things that I really didn't like at all, especially towards the end (and perhaps the ending itself). It kind of leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth and that saddens me because I loved everything else a whole lot.

My favorite book of this trilogy is probably Royal Assassin, with this being last. Other than the end, I didn't have that tense feeling I had during the first two, and certain twists that happened were sometimes so obvious that I wanted to scream at them for not seeing it. But good god, I loved the beginning so much and most of the middle but I'm so sad about it overall.

Still, I'm completely in. As much as the turn of the story sort of disappointed me, I still am in awe of all these characters, who are each so different and fleshed out in their own ways, and I care for them and wish well for them. I'm glad to be able to spend some time away from them though, and move onto the Liveship Traders trilogy for a while.

I just wanted Fitz and Burrich/Molly/Nettle to reunite, damnit :(
