Fairly interesting but don't care for the new character and potential LI who has too much of a chip in their shoulder.

I am enjoying that all the apparent <spoiler>happy endings of the previous installments all had something go wrong eventually as shown in this trilogy.
The children of the dragon keepers suffered, Kelsingra isn't a perfect utopia like they wanted to see it, Paragon, the pirate isles

And poor Bee. She is suffering so much. The constant abuse...
And the sickness of the Servants truly turns my stomach...<spoiler></spoiler></spoiler>

<spoiler>“Daughter?” I stared at him. Anger burned in his eyes. I thought of Shun, her Farseer features, even her green eyes. So obvious. How could I not have seen it before?</spoiler>

Fitz...Fitz...Fitz.
Have you, perhaps, met yourself?

Chapter 10: The title is "kidnapped"
Chapter begins with Malta insisting that Reyn leaves her, *alone* to go meet up with Leftrin

Me, shaking my head at this stupidity: ai-yai-yai...

This chapter makes me realize that if there was any trope that I utterly despise, other than a love triangle, it is the one where the elderly character who clearly has important information refuses to tell it for whatever stupid reason.

Some dude with Old Blood: "You should totally hang with us so we can teach you how to master your ability such that you don't put yourself and others in danger cos your ability is attracting crazy not-zombies and leaving you open to power-hungry telepaths"

Fitz, as the absolute dunce that he is: "Mmmm nah, I'm good. Vengeance awaits!"

Me, shaking my head in dismay: "This boy..."

“A warrior of the Daware Tribe never shares his schemes,” Keema said. “This is so the only one who can foil his plans is himself.”

“Keen words improvised on the spot.” The Defect shook its head. “In simple words: bullshit.”

Huh...
I like this tortoise...
