Title: Excellent continuation of one of the Best Long Sets
Review: Is this the fifth book of six, or the eighth of nine? Hard to say, but not since Cheryh's Chanur series has there been anything this good. The world is rich, consistent, and deeply imagined. The characters, too, are very well drawn, convincing and satisfying. Believable people reponding in believable ways to difficult situations. No paragons of genius and virtue in set-piece dramas here.If you this is the first of Hobb's you have looked at, I urge you read the Farseer Trilogy first. All her eight set on this world are first-rate and are best taken in order.
