Nighteyes is likely the best animal character in all of fiction (excluding books with almost exclusively nonhuman characters, like Watership Down, Frog and Toad, Charlotte's Web, or Animal Farm). IYKYK.

All of Hobb’s characters are so well fleshed out!

Seth - I wonder if the federal cuts have a second stage. What if that money was encumbered by the treasury and those are moved into a sweep account? And all these cuts are being collected and then redirected into one of their crypto scams, disgusting as government investment?

I see your Nighteyes and raise you one Freddy the Pig. Detective, magician, politician, explorer, adventurer, pilot, astronaut, ... Freddy has done it all.

Much though I love Robin Hobb and the Elderlings series, Polar Weasel has the better card here.
