A review by kaitlyn_wren
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb

4.0

loved:
- the scene where kettricken united and subdued the mob that was going to hunt forged ones. she’s so brave and brilliant and all around such a lovable character.
- every appearance of the fool. SO cleverly written.

mehhhhh:
- fitz’s relationship with molly is the WORST. i’m sure that’s the intention, but painful to read regardless.
- fitz himself. he just gets on my nerves so bad.

i had hoped that there would be some answers to some of the questions that i have from the first book (eg. what was the purpose of the fool’s “fat suffices” riddle, who was the old lady from the mountains that called fitz “keppet”, and how and why are the raiders forging people?)

i have high hopes for the last book in the trilogy, i’ve heard such good things and i expect all will be wrapped up nicely.
