I made more progress in this book tonight. I was on chapter 6 and I just stopped on chapter 10. I like what I‘ve read so far.

#RealmofElderlings book is Royal Assassin. Aim is to have this I've read by the end of April and then move on to the last book in the Farseer Trilogy

How is everyone finding it? I haven't started my re-read yet 🤣

majkia I'm about half way through. Painful in parts, particulary because it's a re-read and I know what happens. Otherwise, still fascinating and wonderfully written. So emotional, for SFF. 5d

Luke-XVX Yet to start it! Been caught up with life etc. attention span has wavered a lot this month so mostly graphic novels reads 5d
daena I‘m a little past the half way mark. Enjoying it thoroughly! 5d
kelli7990 I haven‘t started it yet. I‘m still reading Assassin‘s Apprentice. I‘m hoping to make more progress in Assassin‘s Apprentice since I‘ve been busy reading other books. 5d
willaful I got bogged down in the first book, not sure I'll progress. :-( 5d
PuddleJumper @majkia The anticipation of pain is very real 5d
PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX I get that 5d
PuddleJumper @daena Brilliant! 5d
PuddleJumper @kelli7990 Sounds good! 5d
PuddleJumper @willaful If Farseer Trilogy isn't to your liking then comeback for Liveship Traders. It's very different and I prefer this trilogy 5d

I couldn't find a second hand copy of Royal Assassin for our #RealmOfElderlings read along, so I got an illustrated e-book
And I'm so impressed with the illustrations 🤩
The map, 🗺️ so I don't spoil anything.

 @PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper I'm glad more ebooks are adding in illustrations like maps. It's so necessary for some books 1w
Enchanted_Bibliophile @PuddleJumper I absolutely agree. But the rest of these illustrations are just as awesome 😎 I just don't want to spoil anything by sharing them 6d

I‘m still reading the tagged book for #realmofelderlings. I‘ve started it but I don‘t know when I‘ll get back to reading it because I started reading The Starless Sea and it‘s longer than this book. I‘m borrowing The Starless Sea from Libby but I need to read it fast because it‘s due in 10 days. The due date is March 19. I have plenty of time but I like returning books early as soon as I finish them so the next person can start reading the book.

I am ready! I might read the 1990s edition as I've cracked the spine and it's already well read

I want to read the Rick Riordan books. I might split it up because it is long. Read other books in-between rather than trying to read it all at once

repost for @PuddleJumper:

Royal Assassin is the second book in the Farseer Trilogy #RealmofElderlings

How is everyone feeling about the series so far?

I‘ve got about 50 pages left of Assassin‘s Apprentice will hopefully get it finished this week. I‘m excited and a little intimidated by the second book. Been an age since I‘ve read anything that long and I think it‘s going to hurt but also fuck yeah my favourite character!

Enchanted_Bibliophile Exited! 🤩 I still have 90 pages left of Assassin's Apprentice, but I'll definitely finish it this week. Then I have to go on a hunt for a physical copy of Royal Assassin. I have the ebook, but I'd like to have a book to do annotations in. 1mo

daena I also have about 50 or so pages left. This is my second read and I love it even more this time around. Looking forward to starting the next book! (edited) 1mo
kelli7990 I like what I‘ve read from the first book so far but I haven‘t made any more progress in it and I haven‘t finished it yet. Maybe I‘ll finish next month. 1mo
Luke-XVX I felt like Fitz grew up far too quickly, I‘d have loved a couple of hundred more pages haha 1mo

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.

kelli7990 I‘ve read A Song Of Ice And Fire and I really liked it so it pissed me off when it ended on a cliffhanger and I‘ve accepted that it might not get finished but I‘m curious to see if I‘ll like this series better than that one. This is my first time reading the series so I‘ll just have to see what I think. I‘ve heard good things about it. (edited) 2mo

Okay I liked the first book in this series, this one I really didn‘t, with all that happened to the main character it was a little over the top. I tried, I really tried to get to “like” but I just couldn‘t. I know this is a popular series and I‘m trying to figure out why. the abuse is over the top and there should be some type of goal…if he can‘t get to where he needs to go. I think my biggest issue is, if he‘s an assassin how is he always caught?

CoverToCoverGirl All valid questions. I‘m not a fantasy reader at all but these came highly recommended to me. I loved them and have read the first three books. Fitz‘s struggle is very real, ugly and harsh. To me it had a very medieval atmosphere, and the Wit and the Skill were just plausible enough for me buy into the storyline and I especially loved Nighteyes. As readers we can‘t like everything, even if it is a popular series. 4mo
Ddzmini @CoverToCoverGirl yes I agree and I have to say there have been time were I go back and reread a book and get a whole different feel so I‘m not getting rid of the books it‘s just I‘ll have to reread them in the future and see if I change my mind on it 3mo
