Oh my GAWD. Can I just start of by saying, F**K YOU REGAL!
Hobb just continues to be phenomenal at character work. Royal Assassin is definitely a slower build than Assassin's Apprentice, and at times has you questioning where the plot is going. But the pay off is well worth it!
Fitz develops so much as a person and how he grows as a man in such a politically charged position has you gripped through the entire book. His relationship with Verity continues to be my favorite through this book, even though Verity can be extremely frustrating.
The introduction of Nighteyes just made my heart so happy! He is my favorite animal companion, period.
I LOVED this book but I only gave it 4 stars because I loved the first book a bit more. Though Robin Hobb continues to show that she is a true master of fantasy.

Im so glad I picked up Realm of the Elderlings this year, I’m really enjoying it. This book did drag a bit in the middle but the ending more than made up for it, and Hobb’s prose continues to be fantastic.

I am in love with this series, it is fantastic, and hits just right for a reader like me (it would hit even better if it were queer, but I can forgive it that)
