Synopsis

Robin Hobb's thrilling Soldier Son trilogy comes to its conclusion in Renegade's Magic. Nevare Burvelle stands accused of a host of heinous crimes, including murder. And he remains under the thrall of the Speck magic that twists his psyche into a ruthless alter-ego. But all is not lost. Perhaps if he asserts control of this other self, he will emerge transformed and triumphant. "Robin Hobb is one of our very best fantasy writers ."-Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times best-selling author

More detailed thoughts to come, but Hobb is the GOAT and she did not forget how to write for this trilogy. It was excellent. Fight me. (Yes I know the RotE trilogies are more excellent, whatever) 8.9......more
