L'assassino. La vendetta

The moments of loyalty and betrayal hit hard, but I wondered if the emotional weight was balanced well throughout the story. Did others feel the same?

The pacing of the revelations kept me hooked, but I’m curious whether this was planned from the start or if it evolved as Robin Hobb developed the story.

His enigmatic nature adds so much depth to the story. I wonder what inspired the decision to keep his backstory so layered and ambiguous.
