Title: Four stars was a stretch, honestly
Product review: I'm a big fan of Robin Hobb- the Farseer Trilogy and the Tawny Man Trilogy are by far my favorite books. I think, unfortunately, that these books suffer by being written by my favorite author. This trilogy just doesn't stand up to the others.The setting is a bit odd....a confusing mix of old and new, but completely foreign. The politics and situations between the races I found interesting, but a bit confusing, and rehashed way too many times. The plot seemed to stop and start unevenly.I think my biggest disappointment was that I didn't find the main character all that likeable. He seemed nice enough, but I just didn't GET him. Somewhere that development that was so great in the Fareer and Tawny Man trilogies just got lost, and I ended up with a kind of bland main character.
