As with the Liveship Traders, despite not having read this book for at least two decades, I remembered much of the story and the characters. Which recommends the book, but makes for a not-very-fresh read of the story. I liked this book. It's slow, detailed character building, with just enough plot to keep things moving along a bit. Really well-done, but Hobb's characters always have such a hard time of it - and I could see the bad news storming over the horizon - that it wasn't quite as much fun as it could have been.
The audiobook was well done, but a bit too deliberately paced. I sped it up to 110%, which worked very helped.
