A review by youngthespian42
Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb

5.0

I FitzChivalry went from being annoying to one of my most favorite characters? I found Assassin’s apprentice slow but Hobb just had a lot of world building to do. This book opens with none of that. This book is all palace intrigue and diabolical plotting. The antagonist have a grip around the readers throat from the beginning and just squeeze harder and harder until the end. I am desperate and horrified to start Assassins quest as I have to see what happens and I am dreading doing so.
