Rating: - the best of the three
This book really worked for me...Robin Hobb's prose is beautiful and effortless to read. None of Hobb's characters, from any of her books are easy or pleasant and this trilogy deals with many uncomfortable aspects of humanity which I think is one of the reasons that people have found it harder to like but finally I grew to understand Nevarre and sympathise with him.
Read em all!!!

This is the third and final volume in the Soldier Son trilogy (after Shaman's Crossing and Forest Mage).

Realizing that the King's Road is planned to go right through the part where Lisana's tree stands, he makes one last attempt at stopping its construction with the Magic. Alas, it doesn't work as expected and Nevare's Magic is all be depleted.

Finding him in this poor condition, Olikea ... Read More

Rating: - Tries to be two different things and doesn't really work
Robin Hobb is an excellent author, there's little doubt of that. While the Soldier Son is far from her best work, I am sick of people complaining because they prefer the Farseer more, or because her latest output is not as good as her older material. Well sorry to break the bad news to you, but authors have good times and bad times like the rest of us. I don't want another Farseer. I have already read that book. You cannot take a negative view on a novel because it is different from another. ... Read More
