Do you think it would be the case with any book that borrowed those materials, or did you feel it was something in particular about how the subject matter was dealt with in this story?

I think I'm looking for mystery and unknown. I'm not always content when something revealed, sometimes I feel a loss like "Whas this all THIS?!". 
Hobb is great in creating mystery and I love thinking about them while reading them. Smiling

When there is a name that means something in foreign language and you do or don't know what, you just "listen" to it, and it sounds strange, and the foreign language gives it a second layer. I think the same song has an advantage when sung in a different language than in your mother tongue, because you perceive it more complex, more deep.
