A review by rkaufman13
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb
3.0
This, the "Empire Strikes Back" of the Farseer trilogy, is not as strong as the first. That didn't stop me from essentially inhaling it, but still, not as strong. If the book had been 15% shorter it might have been a well paced sequel, but there was just Too Much Stuff in here, not to mention an abundance of Randomly Capitalized Words and a plot that was in reality pretty simple but explained in the most long winded, confusing way ever.
Not to mention that I grabbed this after seeing it on a goodreads list of "bromance" books and I am not getting the bromance. Wolfmance (?) sure, but that is not what I signed up for, Goodreads! I do have my suspicions about Burrich, but I will have to wait until the third book in the series to see if those suspicions are warranted.
