So soon after declaring how glad I was to have a break from the Farseer family line, here I am again, this time with a prequel that is equal parts inessential and inoffensive. At long last the truth is revealed about the Farseer pedigree, and how "beast-magic" entered the bloodline, and while it makes for a mildly diverting little fable, the faux-historical chronicle narration leaves the tale feeling somewhat bloodless, from an emotional standpoint.
