Royal Assassin

A five star book following two five star books. My expectations for this were high, and they were met! I love Fitz finally choosing himself, even if he will ever have the mindset of a kingsman, whether he likes it or not. I don’t even know what to say, my mind still hasn’t caught up. An absolutely incredible book, Robin Hobb is a master of her craft, and I cannot wait to continue further down the path of Realm of the Elderlings.

I don’t think I‘ve ever had a 5 star book followed by a 5 star book in a trilogy before. After Assassin‘s Apprentice, my expectations were high, and they were not only met but exceeded. Kettricken truly is a Queen as they ought to be, and Verity also has quickly become a favorite, and I cannot wait to see him again. What an incredible continuation of Fitz‘s story. Once again those last few chapters set a crown upon an already magnificent story. Truly a worthy second book.

The mainplot unfolds slowly, but for me it worked and the end was definitely worth the wait. Would also make a good TV-Show. Honestly can´t think of anything I disliked about the book. Great read, will definitely read again.
