I mean what is there to say really. It's classic fantasy. The writing was convoluted and filled with exposition. Characterization didn't go beyond surface level with the majority of the narrative focusing on what they were doing rather than what they were thinking.

But the story was still very interesting and the world building continues to impress me. I also liked the narrative decision to make the story from Tenar's point of view even though the Sparrowhawk is still decidedly the main character. Nothing to write home about but still looking forward to finishing the last book in the initial trilogy.
