I just started this book. I only read the first chapter and it was interesting. I don‘t feel invested in this story yet but I‘ll read at my own pace and keep going. My plan is to read some of this book while I‘m reading other books. It‘s been a long time since I‘ve read a fantasy series. My first fantasy series was A Song Of Ice And Fire and my second fantasy series was Lord Of The Rings.

I‘m going to be participating in the #realmofelderlings readalong hosted by PuddleJumper. I just finished a book club book I was reading and now, I‘m ready to start this book next. I won‘t finish it this month but I want to at least start it. This kinda sounds like A Song Of Ice And Fire because ASOIAF has a bastard named Jon Snow and this series has a bastard named Fitz and both series have kingdoms and knights and things like that.
Here‘s my picks for #bookspinbingo. #4 is my #bookspin pick and #10 is my #doublespin pick. My #bookspin pick is going to be Assassin‘s Apprentice by Robin Hobb for the #realmofelderlings readalong. I don‘t think I‘ll finish it this month because the audiobook is 17 hrs but I want to at least start it. My #doublespin will be a series I‘m finishing on my Kindle but I will be able to finish the series that I picked.
I‘m joining the #realmofelderlings readalong this month. We‘re reading Assassin‘s Apprentice. I‘m interested to see what I think about this series. I‘ve never read Robin Hobb. I‘ve heard of this series because Becca And The Books on YouTube has talked about the series on her channel and her book club The Catchup Book Club read the series but I didn‘t read it when they were reading it because I wasn‘t ready to commit to it yet.
It is nearly time to start reading Assassin's Apprentice!
This is running on Litsy and Storygraph and there are different ways you can get involved, or not get involved, it is all optional

Getting ready for #RealmofElderlings by finding my copies
The grey one is my original book from when I was a teenager. It is so tiny, the font is tiny and I squint when I look at it
The other copy is my nice copy and I don't want to ruin it ... By reading it? 🤣
pickThe magic in this trilogy is god tier. The story is fast-paced & the multiple POVs are used skillfully to keep the pace quick and build the world. The political turmoil makes me wonder if the author is clairvoyant. Also, there are the coolest fucking dragons ever written. I could go on and on. Read this trilogy.

One of the things that I love most about this book is the naming of the characters. There are names suited very well to the fantasy genre like Althea, Keffria, Malta, Grag, Wintrow, and Brashen to name a few. Then there's Kyle. And yes, Kyle sucks as a person. He's the absolute worst. His name stands out among the rest like a sore thumb and I think it's by design maybe? Idk, but I think it's hilarious.
