So Captain Kennit…. I can’t decide if I like or hate him. He’s an incredibly wicked but also dynamic character, doing more good than he knows or completely understands himself, but then turns and shows complete ruthlessness to a point I can’t understand or approve of. All I can say is that he needs help. And MAJOR character development. Hopefully it will strap itself to him like his dang crutch.

Tehe. Malta is a fool and idiot but I suspect she MIGHT be about to learn a lesson heheheh. 🤭

I was JUST starting to like Kennit but this fool is trying to revert back already. If he doesn’t get some major help, I might quit these books. Also— if he touches Wintrow ONCE, I will lose everything and jump into the book and kill him. Goodbye. It’s getting too suspicious how he describes him. I will be so disappointed in Robin Hobb if she truly allows it. Ugh. Anyway. Still enjoying ofc.

How I love the Fool. It’s interesting to see him as Amber but I miss him as the Fool too. Besides that, I still truly am enjoying this book. It’s definitely somehow gotten 1000x better. Maybe I’m more invested in the characters now, but I have no clue how that happened when I walked away from the first book feeling like they were chaff in my soul. (Most of them). Anyway. Onwards~

Myy Goddd. This book is SO good, SO much better than the last one. The first one felt like setting up a long and intricate stage and most of it almost felt pointless. But this picks up so speedily and it’s like the act is truly beginning and the best parts of the book are coming out. Maybe I don’t miss Farseer as much is all, but I truly am loving this story. Bingtown and it’s culture is probably my favorite

Captain Kennit is treading a thin line. I AM a bit satisfied at his new resolve to protect Wintrow. If anyone needed a life and death experience it was him. This smacks of MAJOR character development to come 👀. And I’m honestly really excited for it. What if Wintrow doesn’t want to give up Vivacia and aids Kennit? What if Vivacia wants Kennit to sail her as well? My Lord, I’m in for this boatride.
