A review by sylvilel
Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb
5.0
I knew I’d like it, but not that it’d make me cry. Repeatedly.
Fitz outlives his injuries from Regal’s abuse, and hides away in a sheperd’s hut. His actions finally forces both Chade and Burrich to leave Fitz to his own devices, and so it begins.
Fitz’s initial quests, for self and revenge and for love, ultimately culminates in the inevitable quest for King Verity. Along the way he discovers much about both the Wit and the Skill, and how these can best be used against Regal.
But EVERYTHING comes at a price.
Robin Hobb somehow manages to write a book that fullfills all my reader’s needs, with so many nuances of character, emotions, world, relations - I mean, I want to cry just thinking about it. There is so much else to be said, but I can’t begin to describe how this book and this series touches my heart.
