Royal Assassin

A very emotive sequel. It will be a while before I can get over this.

Also, reading this made me realize that I enjoy character-driven fantasy stories. The political intrigues and navigation in this book were so interesting with the focus on Fitz and his dynamic with the characters.

I liked Fitz as a protagonist in the first book, but I came to love him in this sequel. His narration is brilliant, flaws and all. I loved basically every interactions he had with the characters, especially with Burrich or Nighteyes.

Very excited to finish this trilogy! Even though I know I'll be emotionally damaged.
