A review by fulare
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb
4.0
The worldbuilding, characters and complex plot are only improved in this book from the first. Hobb weaves in the history from previous book so well in this one. It doesn't feel like an info dump but also doesn't leave out important information you may have forgotten.
My gripe with it is how much darker it is. The first already had a lack of agency for Fifz but in this book he also faces what feels like a hopeless situation. With every action he takes, things always seem to worsen which is disheartening. I also disliked the entire Molly plotline.
The writing and story are good but I had a tougher time enjoying this.
