SPOILER ALERT!
spoilery stuff below
So I trudged through this, I've read books by this author before and enjoyed them but this was a bit more grimdark, GRRMy and it did not suit. There was one character that I liked and by the end what happened to him wasn't good.
The story starts with a revolt winning and a bastard son taking over a duchy, dark magic and plots and a lot of evil people winning.
I have no urge to read further in this series. It reads well and it's craftful but I didn't care really by the end.
