Soo.. I like this book again. Even if the last chapter + the one I just read was unnecessarily traumatizing. I feel like there is a way to show and tell how horrible things happen in a way that is not graphic and uncaringly blunt and triggering. I know the intention isn’t to glorify it, but it’s just too much to slop into the book over and over. I can’t STAND it!!! It’s so fucking infuriating for me, bec

UM. THE WAY I PHYSICALLY SCREAMED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAPTAIN KENNIT IS OFF IS ROCKER!!!! WINTROW FATHERING THE CHILD?!!?!?!?!??!?!!?,!!,!,!,!
Yeah I hate him. Thoroughly. If he actually does that to him, I will utterly destroy this book. Robin Hobb will have taken it too far. For real. Like bro— WINTROW!!!??? With ETTA?!?!!, I’m literally losing my mind.

Ugh. I love this SO much better than Ship of Magic. Idk man I almost missed a great story because the beginning was full of lurches and wild bumps and awkward stops and blah blah blah. Not a great beginning. But a damn good middle is all I’m saying and HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!!!! A GREAT ending.

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~
