I can’t remember the last time I read (or if I have ever done so) anything as epic as Assassin’s Quest.
Yes, it was a fantastic book, but it was ‘epic’ in every sense of the word: the ‘quest’ aforementioned in the title, the development of characters we’ve followed for the previous two books, the scope of the story and its rich layers, the length (over 800 pages of tightly-packed, tiny font) —and slow pace (only Hobb is allowed to put me through that) — of the book...
It was a tad too long and too slow at points, I'd say, and there were a few minor plot-point frustrations or story/magic concepts that I struggled to confidently grasp, which prevents this from being an all-time fave.
Despite that, what an incredible adventure packed with soo many feels.
Can’t wait to see what Hobb has in store in her Liveship Traders trilogy!
