This book has a surprise waiting inside. Yet even if you guess what it is—Robin Hobb spends plenty of time foreshadowing it—you still won’t be prepared when it happens.
This book is one of the most devastating books I’ve ever read. I kept thinking about it for days after I’d finished, and even now, months later, those feelings stir with the memory.

Action is one of the harder things to get right in a novel. But if you want to see a master at work, Larry Correia’s your man.
