Still struggling through book 2, not really any better, it's repetitive, very little is actually happening. I've got about 100 pages to go.
I'm pretty indifferent to most of the characters, but somehow it also has that strange compelling quality, that makes me want to finish it.
I will read book 3, as I've got it.
This is the first Robin Hobb Series I've ever read, if I didn't already own some of her others it would have probably been my last.
As it is I think I'll read the first books, of those, then decide whether to complete the sets or not.
