A review by teeg
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb

5.0

I suspect anyone who loves fiction knows what it feels like to live a story. And knows that some authors are better at drawing you in to their worlds than others are. Robin Hobb is a master at the art. It's been a long time since I last read a series, much less a book, that held me spellbound even while I was living outside the book. And now that I've turned the last page on the last book in the series, I find myself miserable at the knowledge that I now have to walk away.

I don't want to share many hints of the story, because in some ways, not expecting anything makes it even better...like finding gold while raking the leaves. I will say that it brought to mind the Dragonbone Chair series by Tad Williams, and I'll leave it at that. :)
