Assassin’s Quest (The Farseer Trilogy, #3)

by Robin Hobb

‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer Trilogy.

With the king no longer living and the heir, Verity, missing and declared dead, Prince Regal has treacherously seized the throne.

Regal’s torture has left Fitz more dead than alive, and more closely than ever bonded with his wolf. All who once loved him believe him dead: even Molly, now pregnant with his child. But he cannot go to her without placing her in terrible danger.

With nothing to lose, Fitz sets out for Tradeford, where Regal has withdrawn, having heartlessly abandoned the north of the kingdom to the Red-Ship Raiders. His quest: to assassinate the man who has destroyed his world.

4.5/5
This book has been my favourite of the trilogy so far, I know many people hated it or didn't like it too much, I know it is dense, I know Fitz suffering so much seems unnecessary, but, I loved everything! The prose, the friendship between Fitz and the Fool and I loved every bit about Patience whereabouts but mostly, I fell in love with Nighteyes. What an amazing character. Robin Hobb is so good a writing non human characters and Nighteyes is so well done.

Ah, I'm going to write a proper review later, today I just wanted to tell you all how much I enjoyed it :D.

This book I liked ,but I think my favorite character was "Nighteyes".He is the wolf that Fitz is bonded with.Fitz and Nighteyes hunt together,fight together and take the journey together.He is a real friend.
