Assassin’s Quest

Assassin’s Quest by Robin Hobb, 757 pages


The third book in the Farseer trilogy shows us that Fitz survived being joined with his wolf, and does make it back to fully becoming a man once more, with a lot of work from Burrich and Chade.  Fitz, however, is still driven by some wolfish principles and also thirsts for revenge.  He sets out to kill the false king, Regal, but in the process ends up called to the true king, Verity, who is still somewhere in the mountains trying to find the Elderlings to help them in their fight against the Red Ships that threaten to completely overrun the Six Duchies.  Fitz’s journey is ridiculously hard, sometimes only assisted by his wolf, Nighteyes.  Although he gains more aid through the course of the book, his journey never really gets easier and the end of the journey doesn’t mean the end of the trouble.  The series, and each book in it, make for good epic fantasy.  Fantasy lovers will probably enjoy the series.
