This thread is strictly for general reading updates as you're reading Royal Assassin. How far through you are/general feelings/references are okay, but please don't include anything that could spoil the story for people who aren't reading at the same pace as you. Post in the spoiler discussion thread once you've finished the book instead!

Rant to your heart's content about your thoughts on the second book in the Farseer Trilogy! BE WARNED - IT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS.

I'm almost 100 pages in now and loving it!!! I wish I had more time in the day to read because it's SO GOOD. So on point with the world building. Slowly falling in love with the characters too... Hobb has done an amazing job and I'm not even half way in!

I'm (shamefully) only two chapters through because I'm spending like 99% of my free time writing 😭 the second chapter has me completely hooked though! For such a young protagonist, Hobb has written him so believably. I really want to know where this story goes?????

That's 100% fine! A few people have already said that they'll join us at the next trilogy. Totally up to you! :)

Hi everyone, I'm Isi!

This will be my first time reading Robin Hobb and I'm super excited to get into the world of the Elderlings! I'm a huge fan of fantasy, and mostly read that, YA, and Sci-Fi. I've literally never heard a bad thing about Hobb's books, and I'm so honoured to help Sam run things this time round. And also very excited to meet you all!

I run the booktube channel Isabeau's Literary Musings: https://www.youtube.com/isabeausliter...
You can also find me on my twitter: https://twitter.com/isabeaumuses
(I have 0 social life so am very active, feel free to talk to me on there!)

Starting from June 26th, the second round of reading the Robin Hobb books is commencing! It is hosted by Sam and myself.
Sam's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUfP...
Isi's channel: https://www.youtube.com/isabeausliter...

The readathon this time round is going to be super low-key, basically everyone will be reading at their own pace! Sam and I are aiming for about two books a month, which allows us breathing space. If you want to read faster or slower than that, it's entirely up to you!

Please make sure to follow the twitter at https://twitter.com/Hobb_A_Long for reading sprints and other little activities.

This readathon is all about enjoyment! We want you to all fall in love with the Realm of the Elderlings too.

Any questions please ask below! :)

Hey everyone, feel free to introduce yourselves in this thread so we can get to know each other a little more! We all know that half the fun of any sort of readathon is people you do it with :)
