Finally found this at the library and I've been reading it. I really can't get into it, it's just not very interesting.

So far, yeah. I had already started IJ, but then I read Distant Star with my students and I was like, "Why the hell not?"

I can't describe my excitement. Robin Hobb is bringing Fitz and The Fool back to us
