I really enjoyed this book and am certainly looking forward to continuing the series. I liked how Fitz's role as an assassin isn't quite what I've seen from other fantasy assassins, he's trained to be a lot more political and subtle. The book definitely has some hard hitting themes about loneliness, trauma, and living with trauma and I am also intrigued by certain side characters, and I already really love Fitz, of course.
Major CW for animal deaths.

Keeping the same rating. Very slow moving with all the action and ah ha moments happening at the very end. Unfortunately even with the reread, it did not tempt me to move on with the series.
First Read:
While I did love the atmosphere and the mythology and the magic system, the pacing made it hard to carry on with this book. I feel like nothing was happening until the last 80 pages or so.
392 pages toward the Bibliogames
