"Earlier I had seen need in the Prince's eyes, a desperate longing for connection & belonging. Did I radiate that same privation? I closed my heart and willed myself to stillness. Time would heal my grief. I repeated that lie until sleep claimed me."

(don't mind me just howling in pain over this end of book)

I think one of the reasons I am reading this so slowly is that the world was already so well built in prior books that we are only retreading old ground here & the pace is so glacial that I almost don't trust that we'll discover anything new/get anywhere exciting until the very end... I do trust this author but, my TBR pile is calling me. Might DNF for now & get back to it for comfort reading

This book revs up so slow and I can't believe I am still 100% invested even if we're mainly read the minutiae of Fitz's uneventful hermit life (also the Fool & their friendship has been built up to a pinnacle in this one and I'm actually really excited about him now! I think in prior tomes I could see what Hobb was going for a little too obviously but it wasn't quite hitting the spot, now the Fool is properly THERE)
