Review:

This book is not for people who like plot driven stories. This is for people who like very well developed characters and an inside in the mind of one of them.

This story is so good, I can't explain why, because it's actually sort of boring. But is also really isn't. 
I just love all the dynamics between the characters and world and magic.

It was a bit too long, therefore not the full 5 stars, but it was amazing nonetheless with a great cliffhanger at the end. I'm really curious to see where this story goes.

Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading Royal assasin by Robin Hobb. This is the second book in the Farseer trilogy. I really was craving a fantasy book, so therefore started this one. I loved the first one and am loving this one as well, so this could be another 5 stars. 

I really love this fantasy world. It feels so cosy and right, I don't know how to discribe it otherwise. I love the characters in this and all the dynamics. This one was a bit too long for me, so therefore 4 stars. Still very enjoyable!

2023 blog review
 
I'm currently reading Royal assassin by Robin Hobb. This is the second book in the Farseer trilogy and the second book in The realm of the Elderlings series. I'm reading an owned copy whilst listening to the audiobook. This is my second time reading this book. This is an adult fantasy book series.

Loving it so far of course. My boy Fitz is just the best. Love this series so much, I just want to read this forever. This was my least favorite of all the Fitz books the first time I read the series, so we shall see if I enjoy it more this time. So far I am enjoying it more I think.

Increasing my rating from 4 to 5 stars. I found the book long the first time I read it, but now these books can't be long enough. I just love it so much. It is difficult to read for me at points, because it's very emotional. But I just absolutely love all the characters.
