I am so friggin close to the end and I am VERY SAD ABOUT IT

I have come to a point in this book where I'm dreading its end and procrastinating from reading. And every other page I mark quotes because everything is just so beautiful and meaningful when we have arrived at the height of world building and character building, and building towards the very last big bang. Gah, I'm trembling with anticipation!!

Jfc I LOVE THIS TRILOGY SO MUCH I AM CRYIIIING

Book 2 of 3 done.
WHAT A BOOK!! 10/10 I have been reading as if possessed, hungry for more and more. I am so excited for the next and what it possibly could bring!

Hobb is so ruthless. Of course we have to follow the rules of rank and court and stuff! We can't go off and rebel our way to convenient things like killing off the problems! Hobb doesn't joke about things like this, and while it is TORTURE I love her for it all the same. Being the rebel and defying all orders is a convenient way to solve plot problems but it's not realistic if your character has honor and loyalty!

While Apprentice is where you work your way to learn about this world with tedious but satisfying effort, Royal Assassin is where you really get to enjoy the world at its fullest. I'm only on chapter 13, but so far the reading experience has been pure bliss and torture from the growing tension of whatever is about to come. Hobb writes with such flow and elegance, I didn't know I missed it this much!
