While I'm not nearly as in love with the Liveship Traders trilogy as I am with Hobb's books set in the Six Duchies, this was still a good read. The pacing felt a little slow at times, and I have to admit my present bitterness with GRRM (HI! NEW BOOK PLZ!) probably contributed to my dislike for changing POV all the time. It took me a while to actually get into the book, and I was hoping more would be revealed; I'm not big on cliffhanger endings. But part of my frustration may be that I'm so familiar with the Farseer and Tawny Man books that I just sort of assumed reading this would be like reading my old favorites again -- forgot it was a new book syndrome, say. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the subsequent books in the trilogy, though I'll probably wait until I have them both so I don't suffer from Oh No What Happens Next! for too terribly long.
No plot. Just pages and pages of repetitive sex between Rhone and Adam who already had their book in Finding Home. The only 'event' is that involving a minor character, Wes, and his abusive relationship with the hotel concierge, Jared. Again, no development here, the scenes just dropped in when Rhone and Adam take a short break from sex. I skimmed through all the sex pages to get to parts that told the story. These couldn't fill a page. I bought this book thinking it's where Logan and Nate, the MCs of the next book, Breaking Logan's Laws, meet but I was wrong. Both men only make a brief appearance towards the end of the book and don't even have any face time together. To say I was disappointed with this installment is an understatement. On a good note, though: I started Breaking Logan's Laws last night and so far so good.
