‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer Trilogy.

With the king no longer living and the heir, Verity, missing and declared dead, Prince Regal has treacherously seized the throne.

Regal’s torture has left Fitz more dead than alive, and more closely than ever bonded with his wolf. All who once loved him believe him dead: even Molly, now pregnant with his child. But he cannot go to her without placing her in terrible danger.

With nothing to lose, Fitz sets out for Tradeford, where Regal has withdrawn, having heartlessly abandoned the north of the kingdom to the Red-Ship Raiders. His quest: to assassinate the man who has destroyed his world.

My favourite teenage books finally given the performance they deserve. When I first found the series on here I was so excited then horrified with the reading of them I think it was the first book I actually requested a refund for it was that bad. This new version is everything a life long fan of this series could hope for!! Every line of these books are done justice by Joe Eyre

Overall a great story. Very slow build up, particularly in second half. Then it felt like a rushed ending, which was a little dissatisfying. Apparently it still serves to setup the rest of the series well though

Great story. Rushed ending.

The best characterisation and storyline I’ve read in a long long time, hard to overstate how good this author is.

Exceptional characters
