Reading progress update: I've read 458 out of 543 pages.

To his surprise, Richard found himself shouting. ‘Edinburgh! Who mentioned Edinburgh? If I object to playing apothecary in private, I’m damned sure I’m not going to trip about with hot towels in public.’
Ha! Richard may be an ass but he has his fun moments.
Also, I didn't anticipate to be reading as much of the book tonight as I have, so I will probably finish the book tomorrow.
I've enjoyed the book but I am now very ready to finish it and move on to something different.
One of the weird things about the book is that I got more enjoyment out of the character - and mostly the "supporting" characters at that - than I did out of the main story.
