Great book, doesn't suffer 2nd book syndrome at all. Definitely slow paced, slice of life, kind of a plot, but I really enjoyed it. The love of this book is found in the small moments that make you stop and think. Fitz is a great person, but also always learning. Robin Hobb always cranks up the tension in her endings and I cannot wait to see what the third in this trilogy brings us.
