Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb

fitzchivalry my beloved


its a beautiful beautiful book and series so far. why not a five? it did get frustrating that nobody actually did something about regal. 

i like verity but he could have done so much more. he was the heir of the throne and one of the strongest skilling users but he pretty much supervised his boats neglected his wife and send fitz on deaths missions alone even when it was unnecessary. 

everybody knows chivalry was murdered and noone batted an eye. why not do the same with regal???? verity has enough reasons and could easily find a way. 

i thought shrewd had to have some ominous plan so as to be so stupidly deceived at the beginning but oh well. 

at one point i even thought chade was on regals side for how much he was against fitz acting against him. 

everything that fitz (and molly) suffered is on those he put above him. he trusted the promise of a greater plan that never came and gave his whole life away for that.
