Wulfgar, in prison, again

We're in the thick of wulfgars fall

The attempt on the captain bringing to bare scars that never fully healed

I get that there wasn't enough to wulfgars stifle to fill out the whole book but the Shakespearean love plot of auckney is such an out of place detour. It pays off in the mid term but not at all on the long term. Jaka's character is so incredibly cringey, purposely so of course and the entire handedly family is incredibly depressing and somewhat unlikeable, they're only about being just how awful the lordship is.

Auckney, salvatore spends good real estate letting us know just how little it matters overall and that becomes part of the problem as to why this is the weakest entry. The ruling people of Auckney come off as the most unlikable characters that aren't blatantly evil.

Started what is, in my opinion, the worst of the series. It's weakest of all entries. It's wulfgar focused, deals with ptsd and introduces characters that are either never mentioned again or become largely inconsequential much player in the series. That said, the worst of salvatore is still better than 90% of the best of most others.
