Very good so far. Fitz is the bastard child of a prince who abdicated in shame. Fitz is brought to court where he is treated neither as nobility nor quite as a servant. But King Shrewd decides to have him trained to be an assassin under the tutelage of the mysterious Chade.
Writing is evocative without being long-winded or gimmicky.
But I worry that I’ve read this before and gave it up. We’ll see!

Really a delight so far. Just finished the chapter about Fitz meeting his should-have-been stepmother Patience. Her weirdness and sorrow and awkwardness are very affecting, and she’s very much counter to the wicked stepmother trope as she desperately tries to create a bond with Fitz.
