Publisher's Summary
The second volume in Robin Hobb’s internationally bestselling Farseer series.
We are here Fitz, you and I, to change the future and the world…
Fitz dreams of Red-Ship Raiders sacking a coastal village, leaving not a single man, woman or child alive. Tortured by this terrible vision he returns to the Six Duchies court where all is far from well.
King Shrewd has been struck down by a mysterious illness and King-in-waiting, Verity, spends all his time attempting to conjure storms to confuse and destroy the Red-Ship Raiders. And when he leaves on an insane mission to seek out the mystical Elderings, Fitz is left alone and friendless but for the wolf Nighteyes and the King’s Fool with his cryptic prophesies.
Critic Reviews
“Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers … what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.” (The Times)

good book, wish I'd read it as a teen
found it funny how the narrators voice jumped between English and a southern USA accent whenever played a drunk or aggressive person, it was like the characters suddenly became cowboys. good book, the fighting isn't immersive but I've been spoiled by Brandon Sanderson, Hobbs characters are what make this book shine

great read
Inticing and great pacing throughout, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The narration was great too, not sure what others are complaining about. I will be starting the second book tonight and can't wait!

Great read!
Totally hooked. Although sometimes I found the descriptions lacking and found it hard to form images of what was happening in my mind it was still a very enjoyable read.

.
A slightly depressing beginning, but the rest was very suspenseful and exciting. I can't wait to find out what happens in the end.
