Didn’t Like It “I got this trilogy because I already had the excellent Liveships trilogy, and was sadly disappointed. Much as one tries to identify with the main character, his inability to accept his fate, and then his attempts to escape it by running away, means that one despises him.

“An odd book, I liked it but.... It was dark and the first 100 pages just completely dragged. I did not voraciously go through this one like her other stories. I would probably read the next in the series. But I am not dying to find what went on.”

I did buy and read the other two books though, as I needed to know how it all ended .....”

“I enjoyed this book. It took awhile read this book since it took awhile to get into the book. About 1/4 way through it started to pick up and soon it was hard to put down. Good book, looking forward the 2nd book.”

“Far too dry for the lack of plot. I understand that Robin Hobb was gearing up for a trilogy but the first 200 pages had very little action save from something that could only be compared to a "movie inspired acid trip". I was not amused given that she even bored me with that.”

“This is pretty consistent with Robin Hobb's writing in terms of style. The setting is completely new, which I find refreshing. The "hero," as in the previous series, seems to be constantly running into circumstances or accidentally placing himself in positions of least success, even when his decisions seem reasonable or moral. The setting & overarching plot is intriguing. If you liked her other series, you should appreciate this one. If you haven't read Hobb before, try to read the series as a whole before deciding everything is hopeless ;-)”

“I don't think I would have picked up this book to read but it was on CD at the Library and listened to it. Wonderful. I think the narrator did a wonderful job and made it so interesting. I'm hoping the next book in this series is also on CD I enjoyed it so much. ”

“These are very different than the other Hobb books. Very compelling story, you really feel for the main character's plight.”

“This trilogy forces you to look at the other side of the conflict. By the end, I could not identify the enemy.”
