This book is good and sad and ends just as it should for Fitz, the Fool, and Nighteyes. 
 Perhaps a bit longer than necessary, but that isn't the first time I've felt that way about Hobbs books. Everybody shows up in this! Liveship Traders characters and those from the Rainwilds. You really need to read these in order and in their entirety to appreciate this. Some mysteries aren't quite clear still, but here we are. I am an odd mix of sad, relieved, and happy right now.
