Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb

adventurous challenging emotional funny inspiring sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

The brilliance of this series, the depth of character work, the genius of plot through all three.

for the reason for the Red Ships and how and why the forging was done to be finally answered in the last chapter, satisfyingly and everything to click into place, even the "Cycles of cycles", I was stunned. Speechless in the reason for it all.

 Everything was beautifully laid out and uncovered. And the suffering that Fitz goes through, feels never ending, but so real and raw. His pain and loyalty and sacrifice are mine, his triumph so earned. I.... it's so good. it's so good.
