Description During Books Assassin's Quest (The Farseer Trilogy #3)
King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies.But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was.

The separation from those who had cared about me was more than I could bear. Had I been truly a wolf, I would have lifted my nose to the sky and howled. Alrighty! Lets make a rule. Going forward, for all Robin Hobb reads, my reviews will begin with a small cussing section aimed at Hobb. No, its not bcz of anything she did wrong. Its just bcz how much she makes Fitz suffer. And how much of a cruel author she is. So with that decided, lets begin!DAMN YOU, ROBIN HOBB!! What in hell possessed youThis review wont be pretty, Im severely disappointed with this installment. I dont know if this is considered an unpopular opinion or not but if it is, Im warning anyone whos a fan of this book to just skip reading this review. Everything here is my opinion and if you loved this book, Im truly happy for you. Believe me, it pained me to give this book a 2 stars ratingand this is me being generous alreadybut I really cant give this book a higher rating than that.Snails Quest, Repetition Quest, Tea
I don't know how to start a review for this book. I was frustrated and impressed with the author at the same time. But still I am happy that I managed to finish this tome instead of abandoning once the story hit 50% mark. After throwing some really good surprises in the start of the book, Fitz embarks on a journey which took the whole book to complete and end was not as grand as I expected it to be considering it was the final installment of the series. But I should not have done that after book
2.5⭐Well, that was... interesting. If theres an author who knows how to crush a readers expectations with a hard blow its Robin Hobb. This was dramatically longer than both previous books yet... VERY LITTLE HAPPENED. Apologies, nothing happened. I seriously dont know what to say here since this book was littered with nothing but over 800 pages of:Traveling. Repetitive recounts. Continual, petty, hormone-induced, why-wont-you-fuck-me arguments that bring nothing to the narrative. Traveling.
So, notwithstanding all the travelling, which I know some people find tedious to read, I loved this book. I think reading the Farseer Trilogy books in succession was definitely the way to go, as all 2000 or so pages really do sit firmly in my mind as a single tale.Some (but definitely not all) favourite things from this final book:*Hobbs' treatment of PTSD and residual trauma. Wow, just so excellently done, not just for Fitz, but Kettricken, and all the characters who suffered so in the making
After re-read:As I said the first time I read this book, the first third of this book was not great. However it was more than worth slogging through it for the rest of the book which I really enjoyed. If you're worried about starting a huge series of 16 books, don't be. I'd have been perfectly content to leave this where it ends. It's a nicely contained trilogy that doesn't require the later books in the series for you to feel it was complete. That said, I'm already on to the next trilogy that
Death is always at the edge of now. Nighteyes thought was gentle. Death stalks us, and he is ever sure of his kill. It is not a thing to dwell on, but it is something we all know, in our guts and bones. All save humans.Sometimes I think that Nighteyes actually is the wisest character of them all. >_< He has a way to see the truth in the world and hes never hesitant to voice it which certainly is a trait many of us humans lack. XD Well anyway, lets not get philosophical right at the
