A review by bloody_kaja
Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb

4.0

This trilogy was quite a ride. And not a bad one.Was it the best one I read? Absolutely not. But still, I find myself connected to it deeply. This may be due to Robin Hobb and her masterful writing. Since this is the first trilogy, it makes sense that it's possibly the weakest one. Or at least, I enjoyed Liveship Traders more. However, overall, I really did like it. I grew to love many characters, especially Fool, Verity and Nighteyes (sorry Fitz). Not to mention the relationship between Fool and Fitz?? Hello?? Anyways. The first half of this book was rather slow for me, ngl. The second half made up for it tho. I especially loved the parts where they just bonded, without too much happening around them. I was sad for many reasons, and some things even weirded me out a bit😭 Iykyk. I was happy for many reasons too. The Fool's humor is impeccable. I cannot even begin to express how much love I hold for him. As for Fitz, that is rather complicated. He's definitely not someone I fell in love with. Not that I don't care about him. I do and I wish the best for him. I'm just not happiest with some of his choices, even while understanding why he made them. His personality isn't much to my liking either. But he did what he could with the poor cards that he had been served. All in all, I am looking forward to seeing more of the characters and where life takes them in the next books.
