"The cat lives in pursuit of the mouse; The tree grows in pursuit of the sun. Are we the cat or the tree, pursuers? Are we the wind, born only to run?"
After hearing raving reviews about this book, I had high expectations but the story ended up feeling quite shallow, and the characters lacked the depth I was hoping for. I never really connected with any of them, which made it hard to care for them and stay invested.
That said, the writing was simple and easy to follow, so it was at least a quick, effortless read.
(I picked this up as a palate cleanser between books in the Realm of the Elderlings series, but now I’m more than ready to return to the queen of character-driven writing aka Robin Hobb. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️)
