Assassin's Quest (the Illustrated Edition): The Illustrated Edition | Robin Hobb

pick

These books are never what I expect, but it always blows my mind.
A very satisfying end to a very heart-rending journey.

Hob weaves true magic with her writing. Her poetic, imaginative prose takes you places you've never dreamt of; contiplating situation you'll never face, but truly do though her stories

Enchanted_Bibliophile Going into a darker, more introspective character study with this book makes it much slower than the previous two (which were already slow) so perseverance is the name of the game. Don't try to rush, stick with it I promise you'll be glad you did. Even if it test your tolerance for grimness beyond what you think you can handle. 3h

Enchanted_Bibliophile The complexity of the character bonds is what really pulled it off for me. Nighteyes, Fool I'm looking at you.
The prolonged revenge quest got a bit much for me, but the character development I got out of it was so worth it. Understanding where Fitz came from - his physical and psychological suffering - made me understand his need for revenge.
3h

Enchanted_Bibliophile How he revenged himself in the end, O Man!
It shows just how much he's learnt and grown and it was just spectacular.

I'm gonna miss these characters, they've become a part of my heart. 3h

repost for @PuddleJumper:

It is the last book of the Farseer Trilogy! How is everyone doing?

We‘re reading this book through June and then starting the LiveShip Trader trilogy in July #RealmofElderlings

I'm very behind. I'll jump in with the LiveShip Trader books but I've not been feeling Fitz recently

Ruthiella I‘m going to jump in at the Dragonwilds quartet, but I agree, you need energy to face Fitz and his struggles and drama! The Live Ship Trader trilogy has a different feel about them. Maybe because they are from multiple perspectives. 2w

Laughterhp Oops. Still haven‘t finished the 2nd one yet. 2w

kelli7990 I finished Assassin‘s Apprentice this month. I will be starting Royal Assassin next month. 2w

PuddleJumper @Ruthiella I don't remember that series very well, I'm sure I've read at least two books so I'm excited to try them again. I do think 1st POV can be difficult and Fitz's books sometimes verge on trauma porn, like nothing nice ever happens! 🤣 2w

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp It's very chonky 2w

PuddleJumper @kelli7990 Yay! That's great progress 2w

Enchanted_Bibliophile Me and Fitz were also on a little break, but last night I picked up the book again... So I might not finish this month, but definitely early next month. 2w

Luke-XVX Probably best if I bow out. Haven‘t thought about picking up/starting the second book in weeks 2w

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX Me either 😅 Jump back in whenever, you don't need to have read the Farseer Trilogy before reading Liveship Traders 2w

PuddleJumper @Enchanted_Bibliophile Excellent! Go at your own pace, they are heavy books 2w

4½ ✨

I believed I was better prepared for what to expect from the second installment of the Farseer Trilogy.

In a sense, I was, but I still got absolutely nothing I expected—in the very best possible way.

Enchanted_Bibliophile What sets this epic apart from others is the single POV narration, which somehow ensures that you never feel as though you've missed anything.

Hobb combines captivating prose with intriguing, multifaceted characters to tell this heartbreaking tale of a young man who is desperately seeking his way and purpose in a life that keeps dealing him with the most challenging circumstances. 1mo
