12 August 2014 | Publication | Received as a powerful return to Fitz after more than a decade, with critics praising the patience of the opening and the introduction of Bee as a genuinely original narrative voice. The deliberate quietness of the first half was noted by some reviewers as a potential barrier for readers expecting immediate momentum, while others praised it as formally essential to the impact of what follows. Debuted strongly on bestseller lists within the established Hobb readership. The introduction of Bee as a dual protagonist was widely welcomed as a bold structural choice that gave the trilogy a fresh perspective on familiar material. |
