Assassin's Fate is an excellent finale to a phenomenal series. It carries through on all the talent and skill Hobb has been honing since Assassin's Apprentice especially as she pulls together everything to present what only feels like the correct conclusion to Fitz's story. My heart was worn ragged by the emotions throughout and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

That said, I cannot express how little I empathized with the Fool in this final trilogy which was disappointing since I liked him so much more prior to it. There was also yet another false death that I felt was completely pointless to the plot especially considering overcoming that false death only meant a delay to the inevitable. For these reasons, the rating ended up at 4.5 instead of 5.

I have very mixed feelings about this book (the negative ones can be summed up as "the pacing and lack of communication is tedious, even if that lack of communication is character consistent"), but I think it might tie with Island of the Blue Dolphins for what book has made me cry the hardest/the most.

This series is everything to me and this final entry is an epic journey. The nostalgia is high, the story lines are all drawn in together, as Robin Hobb chronicles the end of Fitz and the Fool.
