More dragons, less romance, fantastic action; I enjoyed it much more than Fourth Wing. I liked the device she used in the last part of the book allowing us to see the battle through different eyes, each in a separate short chapter. The cliffhanger ending clearly means there‘s another book coming.

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

The first ¾ of this book are very slow and then it speeds up at the end.

It's the recollections of a royal bastard starting from when he was very young. His memories become clearer as he becomes older, though not always.

Fitz is not a reliable narrator. Whether that is deliberate or because memories are fallible. It's interesting to grow alongside him and learn what he finds value in and the people and events that shaped him.

PuddleJumper It can be confusing at times because you're being introduced to this fantasy world and its fantasy politics through a man remembering his childhood.

Author Fitz does not include much context for the reader. I liked this. It felt authentic to the narrative and I can respect a character that is more interested in their dog's wellbeing than the favour currying at court especially when said character is a child.

PuddleJumper That said, I do understand why some people find this book boring. Having re-read it for the first time in years, I think I would recommend people to start with the Liveship Traders trilogy which is much easier to get into even though they are chonky books!

PuddleJumper I totally forgot I won this from Goodreads back when giveaways were available on the UK 7h
Rachel.Rencher @PuddleJumper I started with Liveship Traders and I'm so glad I did! I'm on Royal Assassin now, but I might not have gotten this far had I not started with book 4. 7h
PuddleJumper @Rachel.Rencher Liveship Traders are some of my favourite books. I do think they are more accessible than the Farseer Trilogy, maybe more traditional fantasy. I originally read them first which got me into the series. I don't think I would have gotten through Assassin's Apprentice the first time around if it was my first book. 6h

Hobb created this world and these characters with so much love and care, that everything becomes real. This past week or so I've been living in Six Duchies, sharing in Fitz's journey from boy to man. And I'm more than ready to follow him into the next phase of his life.
If this is only the beginning I know I'm in for purely delightful adventure.

This is such a great MG series! 💚

Amari is this generation's Harry Potter, and I love reading about her adventures with her brother and her friends as they fight the forces of evil.

If you enjoyed HP or Rick Riordan's books, you should definitely try this series.

TheBookHippie I love this series. 9h

Happy Tuesday! I can‘t wait to move on to the next part, because I really have no idea where this story is heading now. And I have some concerns.

Meshell1313 Yes ok soo we at least know who the journal belongs to but we still don‘t know who the imposter is? And do we talk about Vin and Zane? Ugh. 10h
JacqMac @Meshell1313 Vin and Zane are one of my concerns. lol 9h
rabbitprincess I had a feeling that Elend would not be re-voted king but was not sure of who would replace him. So hurray for being ahead of a cliffhanger for once, sort of 😆 7h
Leniverse @Meshell1313 I tried to keep track of who has been eliminated in the hunt for the imposter, and I wonder who I have forgotten. Or if it's going to be some nameless servant nobody ever notices. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4h
