Murtagh is(was) admittedly not a favorite of mine, but that's all changed now! I loved reading about his relationship with Thorn, and I appreciated learning about his traumas and beginning to better understand him. Some parts were difficult and/or boring to read, and the pacing felt off at times, but I mostly just loved returning to Alagaƫsia for a new story!
