Royal Assassin book cover

"Assassin's Quest" by Robin Hobb is the epic conclusion to the Farseer Trilogy, chronicling FitzChivalry Farseer's perilous journey to save King Verity and the Six Duchies from destruction. After betrayal and near death, Fitz sets out alone, guided by a fractured sense of duty, a deep need for justice, and the lingering threads of ancient magic. His path takes him far beyond the familiar halls of Buckkeep into strange, wild lands, where he encounters new allies, old enemies, and the true cost of destiny. Hobb crafts a sweeping and emotional narrative, blending adventure, heartbreak, and wonder into a story that lingers long after the final page.

"Assassin's Quest" is a bold and deeply satisfying finale, though it demands patience from readers willing to follow Fitz through his struggles, doubts, and growth. Robin Hobb’s masterful prose and her unwavering commitment to emotional honesty make this book a standout in epic fantasy. I highly recommend "Assassin's Quest" to readers who appreciate character-driven stories with rich world-building and profound emotional depth; it is a challenging but ultimately rewarding journey that closes Fitz’s first chapter with unforgettable power.
