A review by manjala
Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb

4.0

I thought this was off to a great start. I loved the first chapter, which already made me emotional. As the book went on, however, it started to feel very meandering and like the author was a bit lost in the pacing. The writing also got more repetitive and it felt like I was just wandering around until the plot would move forward.
As I got to the halfway point though, things started happening and it got really interesting. It really added some things to the world that I loved. I have marked quite some favorite character moments, and found myself thinking about some emotional events that happened even while at work.
I don't really know what to make of the ending. On one hand, I thought it was perfect and fitting, but I can also see some flaws and how it doesn't really fit the pacing of the rest of the book. But the pacing was, I think, in general a thing I struggled with in this book.

I'm really excited to continue with the next trilogy! I will take a little break from this world for now.
