Rendition To Books Assassin's Quest (The Farseer Trilogy #3)
King Shrewd is dead at the hands of his son Regal. As is Fitz—or so his enemies and friends believe. But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest—perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return—or the heir his princess carries—can save the Six Duchies.But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him—currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was.

This review wont be pretty, Im severely disappointed with this installment. I dont know if this is considered an unpopular opinion or not but if it is, Im warning anyone whos a fan of this book to just skip reading this review. Everything here is my opinion and if you loved this book, Im truly happy for you. Believe me, it pained me to give this book a 2 stars ratingand this is me being generous alreadybut I really cant give this book a higher rating than that.Snails Quest, Repetition Quest, TeaSo, notwithstanding all the travelling, which I know some people find tedious to read, I loved this book. I think reading the Farseer Trilogy books in succession was definitely the way to go, as all 2000 or so pages really do sit firmly in my mind as a single tale.Some (but definitely not all) favourite things from this final book:*Hobbs' treatment of PTSD and residual trauma. Wow, just so excellently done, not just for Fitz, but Kettricken, and all the characters who suffered so in the making
After re-read:As I said the first time I read this book, the first third of this book was not great. However it was more than worth slogging through it for the rest of the book which I really enjoyed. If you're worried about starting a huge series of 16 books, don't be. I'd have been perfectly content to leave this where it ends. It's a nicely contained trilogy that doesn't require the later books in the series for you to feel it was complete. That said, I'm already on to the next trilogy that
Having now completed the Farseer trilogy, Ive identified three major characteristics of Hobbs novels: 1. The writing is beautifulpoetic yet practical, powerful yet prosaic; perfectly suited to the world and story2. Considerable time is spent within the mind of a beleaguered narrator, and much of the action takes place in a metaphysical plane 3. Thingsmoveverysssslllloooowwwwllllyyyy(To be fair, all of the above is true of my own books, except for #1 and #2.)The concluding volume of the series is
Once again this is more of a rating than a review. I plan to go back and update this with more details later.I read all of the negative reviews after I finished and I am glad I didnt read them first. I liked it and thought that the author finished the series well- it was satisfying. The villain couldve been more developed, but I thought everything tied up nicely. Yes, Fitzgerald was weak, but that was part of what made him a different protagonist than the typical fantasy genre hero. He was
After the spine-tingling cliff-hanger at the close of the book two, I was fully expecting a cathartic close in this the third and final book in the Farseer trilogy. However, I found myself getting bored with the tiresome -- and seemingly endless -- quest that took far too much of the last half of this 700-some-page finale. Perhaps it was the monotony of the long-haul slough that our hero and his allies endured for 200-plus pages , or even the deus ex machina by way of dragons. (How convenient
