More assassinations are afoot and we get introduced to a bunch of new high fantasy magics in this section (is the Rooster Crown it's own thing yet?). Intrapersonal group dynamics are taking a hit as our characters continue to traverse the skill road and the conflict between Starling and the Fool concludes with Fitz confusing plumbing and love again. We also get more backstory from Starling that comes with a content warning but it's not all serious, we cover plenty of lighter topics including the origin of the hashtag #LetsGetWet
