Like many I was literally conquered by Fitz, royal assassin. Raiders of the sea, in its extension, fascinated me. I had more trouble with the shaman soldier, more complicated, with whom we had more difficulty identifying. With the Cities of the Ancients, I counted back the world of adventurers of the sea, and maybe even come across him crazy. Certainly, fluent writing include Robin Hobb. Certainly the book is easy to read from beginning to end, and new characters that one feels they have something to say or show, are emerging. But even when we honestly feel a simple implementation of history. This first volume comes down to this, a set up. And at that price, here is expensive. I hope that the second volume will give us more action, intrigue, and that new characters will be as endearing as were their predecessors.
