Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
3.0
Don’t do what you can’t undo, until you’ve considered what you can’t do once you’ve done it.
I first heard of the Realm of the Elderlings through a tiktok, and thought, "This looks fun to just jump into without any additional thought," and yet I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book: the blurb seemed dry and the opening chapters drudged on for a bit more than liking. But once the preliminary events happened, the worldbuilding and characters really captivated attention. All in all, this book gave me the vibe of a prologue—or a compilation of flashback scenes sprinkled throughout a televised season. That being said, I look forward to seeing what occurs next!
