"He could protect this boy as he had not been protected himself. He had the power to stave off the destructive forces that had once torn his own life apart."
Honestly, this just makes me so sad. Hobb creates fantastic, multifaceted characters, but her treatment of people - specifically men - who are victims of rape and CSA leaves a lot to be desired. Why did Kennit's care for Wintrow suddenly need to pivot to lust?

I will never be over Reyn being on his knees before Malta, begging and sobbing. Exactly where men belong. 🥰❤️

It's hilarious and heartwarming how Amber can be doing the most mundane of tasks - like just tying knots right now - and thousands of us are fawning at her fucking feet.

imagine being 14 years old, forced to go to the priesthood and then brought back against your will when you finally found a home there, sold into slavery by your own father and then kidnapped by a pirate, already had to cut off your own crushed finger and then having to cut off said pirate's decaying and rotten leg. . . ah, wintrow, my sweet boy. 🥲

lady amber, my beloved, my one true love, gentle of soul and brave of heart (fool she is, fool she is not). paragon, my son who is a ship. wintrow, my son who is half of a ship's soul. althea, my daughter who is foolhardy and courageous in equal measure. kennit - a fucking gremlin who i want to smack to near-death with a newspaper and watch in fascinated horror as he ekes by and makes a mess of everything.
