desertcart.com: Royal Assassin (The Farseer Trilogy, Book 2): 9780553573411: Robin Hobb, Stephen Youll, John Howe: Books

Review: Excellent middle of the story - Ms Hobb is an excellent writer. She knows how to make you care for the characters, even with all their foibles. Regal makes for an excellent villain, and Burridge is made to be an enigma, one that is both full of pleasure as well as pain. Highly recommend this book, but ONLY if you've read the first one!
Review: Great, engaging but with some flaws that make it no so compelling (SPOILERS ALERT) - This will be my largest review of any book so far but I need to excuse myself because of 4 instead of 5 stars (sry for my english). First of all I want to say the book was good, fun to read, writing of great quality, a lot of things I loved. BUT, there were also a few things that were bothering me from the start, and I couldn't shake them off until the end: 1. In both books so far, Fitz has no will or personality/character of his own, the whole plot is only what others make of him (Chade, Shrewd, the Fool, Verity, even Regal, etc.) directly or indirectly. So, I felt the whole book that I wasn't reading an open story where everything is possible and the challenges/solutions are real, but only events that must happen because someone superior must see them happen. It's not like the classic character where he by himself has to face and solve problemes and develop an undefined and intriguing personality. And, becausw Fitz was the only point of view of both books, I feel like trapped in this way of feeling the book. Anyway, the end give me a lot of hope because for sure he will have to be more independent in the following books. 2. I just can't believe that was so easy for Regal to take the power. I mean, everything was so obvious and everybody knew it but nobody decided to do anything. The whole book I was like "ok no problem, Shrewd knows what he is doing, or Verity, or the Fool, etc, it's all part of a bigger plan", but at the end everyone of them felt in despair and desbelief and helpless. I mean, Shrewd is SHREWD, how cannot he saw that coming??! I just can't stand it. Regal is like the least compelling villain in history but anyway he managed to influence the whole kingdom and take the power unscathed. 3. It's more personal, but i didn't like Fitz and Molly being together (or whatever) so fast, the book gained nothing with it, only adding some romantic material for whatever teenager reading the book. Anyway, as I said, I have big, BIG hopes for te following books.
