Always love a trader council meeting scene. Hobb is clever. Although this one felt a little bit on the nose in a “the whole store clapped” kind of way

Loving this exploration and explanation payoff of the memories

A very tense scene with Hest, honestly refreshing to read from his POV after listening to Sedric and Alice talk about him constantly. Not sure how I feel about characters from liveship traders getting chapters, it feels like we’re waking the dead. Spooky city exploration too, they are def not alone here. You’re telling me Rapskal left that fire there? Nope nope nope

Classic 100 pages of recap and just a sprinkling of new

Bruh why is she doing Selden so dirtyyyyy. I love ancient civilizations being rediscovered, certainly scratching an itch
