About the author
Robin Hobb
323 books113k followers** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

Finally something interesting happens but mostly this has been an underwhelming beginning to the series - just like the book.
The drab tones do nothing to excite interest and the story is equally dull. It's easier to follow in comic format but there's still just so much explanation in favour of action which makes it slow going.
This is the last issue of the first part so now we wait til Dec for Part 2. Overall it's been just as disappointing as the book, but I feel less like I've wasted time because it was still much easier to digest in comic form.
Fans of the books might get a kick out of it, but there's not a lot here for comic lovers.

I still can't believe the way some of these adults used the poor kid. Also, I already hate Regal.

Very strong final issue for this part of the arc. I love being back in this world and with these characters, and the ending is perfect to lead into what comes next! I can't wait until December!!
