Title: A Worthy Read With A Disappointing Ending
Product review: Robin Hobb takes the time to pull the reader deep into the lives of her characters. I was more invested in the characters of these books than anything I have previously read. I felt the pain and disappointment of the main character as personal attacks. I was right with him through each trial and heartache and on to eventual redemption. Professional reviewers have commented that these books were too long. I think that the investment pays off. Except. This is another of those books where you are really invested and the plot is thick and you know it's the last book and you look in horror to realize that there is only 15 pages left. Someone either got bored or ran into a deadline. I agree with a number of other reviewers. The end was sloppy and unsatisfying. After all the evolution and growth the main character goes through, the ending truly belies the magnitude of the character's strength and accomplishments.
