The development of the political intrigue story, the world building, and the magic in this world are all phenomenal.
Plot movement is a little light
I feel like this is the set up for a really good story, but on its own, it is not a satisfying, full story. However, since the set up is so good, I do plan on reading the series and I hope to get some satisfying conclusions later.

This book mixes a coming-of-age story with messy court intrigue and the life and responsibilities of an assassin. Many of the characters are not likeable, but this is by design. Fitz, the main character, is written realistically and reliably.

It has moments of real violence (emotional and physical) that are told in sometimes told in painful and distressing detail. But this is only part of the story. It is also about connections and friendships and trust.
I found the development of the characters and the revealing of the facets of their personalities were an important part of my enjoyment. People are multi-layered and complex.

You will probably finish the book, and be glad to know there are another two in the Farseer Trilogy.
