A review by andrealinia
Fool's Assassin by Robin Hobb

5.0

There is a sense of apprehension when approaching a new series with characters that you love. After two trilogies with them, you want them to have their happy ending, and when picking up the start of another series you have the knowledge that in order for there to be a story worth telling something must happen to upset that happy ending.

And so I approached this book with the fear that everything was going to fall apart in the worst possible way.

However, Robin Hobb is a good author and this fear was uncalled for. Yes, events unfold that upset the characters' welcome ending from the Tawny Man series but it's done eloquently, making me feel as though this is just another part of their story.

I welcome this return to Fitz and his world and look forward to the rest of the series. I'm glad to be back on this emotional roller coaster ride.
