ASSASSIN'S QUEST - Planning to read, first impressions **NO SPOILERS**

I kept reading after I finished Royal Assassin, so I've finished this one now too. With the ending from the last book, it was hard not to keep going. (Plus there are some new releases in November that I'll be reading, so I had to get this one read early.)
I'm still only in the first 100 pages, but I just wanted to say I enjoyed learning more about Burrich's early life, and how he met Chivalry. I've liked Burrich in the past books, and also have been annoyed about his continued insistance that Fitz didn't use wit (probably because I think it's cool). It was nice understanding more about his past and his motivations.

In the thread about the second book a couple of days ago I wrote that I would not read "Assassin's Quest"... I have read the introductive chapter of two books, not knowing which one to choose... but I felt uneasy to have leave something unfinished...How could someone judge LOTR by stopping reading after "The Two Towers"?... Farseer is triology, and so you have to read all the three books, only so you can judge Hobb's work, that what I said to me. :)
And so the last night I began reading AQ... I've read up to 10% and the only thing I can say (to not give spoilers) is that I very like the beginnig! :)
I remained pleasantly shocked by that... the other two books (in particular the second one) gave me such a positive feeling only in the last part of them...
Well, for now, I'm glad not to have given up... I will share my conclusions as soon as possible! :)




I read this with the rest of the trilogy some time back and liked it a lot, just like the first two.
