My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this series. It’s very slow-paced so I had to adopt the mentality of spending a long time with Fritz. Sometimes lots of things happen to him, sometimes he’s just walking endlessly along a road. Yes, the book could have been cut down to size quite a bit, but my bigger issues were with strange little plot points and new magical rules, missed opportunities in the book (like utilizing the help of the other witted people), and even specific very unclear sentences at the end of book when it’s most important to understand what’s happening.

I love the main character Fitz and the supporting characters, especially The Fool and Night Eyes. The intrigue is interesting as well. Unfortunately, the bad guys are too one-dimensional and the book should have been trimmed down a bit.

You know it’s good when I’m finishing it at 2:40 a.m. Starts off slowly but the pieces start falling into place and the action goes completely nuts. I recommend it and I’m starting the second book in the series ASAP.

The only slight frustration is how slow on the uptake Fitz is, but I suppose that’s somewhat understandable since he’s still a young child.
