TIL ESumiYan is male ? <| sep |> Rotham still on the board in the 30 s too , if he slides to freo I will be so happy , kind of like a repeat Balic from last year <| sep |> He wasn ' t the losing candidate , but you get my point , stop arguing for the sake of arguing . <| sep |> I could show you something that fits in nicely . <| sep |> I really liked it but admittedly not as much as the Realm of the Elderling books , which are basically some of my utter favourites . There ' s some fantastic world building and a lot of emotional investment , as you might expect , but yes frustration is one of those emotions that gets evoked . I remember from when it came out after the Tawny Man trilogy that people were super excited for more Hobb , and then disappointed when they realised it was not only a different world but a slightly different style to her previous works , and that it would push back release of more Elderling books considerably , so perhaps that tarnishes it in some minds which could factor in to the rating . If you ' re enjoying it there ' s no sense letting other people ' s thoughts put you off !
