This is the first book of the "middle" trilogy, and introduces a whole new set of characters. Reminiscent of Patrick O'Brian's naval adventures, if they had included magic, the well-drawn characters and intriguing plots draw you in to a world as only Hobb can do.
I'll admit, I somewhat prefer the adventures of Fitz and the Fool (in the Assassin books and the Fool books) but there are few writers that make me as happy as Robin Hobb. And yes, you will want to read the whole series.
