As a fantasy junkie it delights me that a good author can take a theme that has been done 1,000 times and with good writing and strong characters provide an entirely new, engrossing experience. The bastard son? Man communicating with wolves? Lost Birthright? Evil forces with a senseless destruction mandate that threatens to destroy an already crumbling empire? Sheesh, how generic! How many times have I encountered hero/arch nemesis wielding a supernatural power that threatens to destroy its talented user? So many times, and yet, this series has me committed. The second book is more thrilling than the first, especially the last 3 or 4 hundred pages. Robin Hobb is excellent at pacing and wreaking a dramatic, page-flying ending. I cannot wait to get my hands on book 3, it will be short-lived on my nightstand, I am sure.
