Royal Assassin by Robin HobbMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am greatly enjoying the Farseer Trilogy. This book kept me in suspense throughout the almost 800 pages. I did figure some stuff out on my own (which is saying something, because I usually let the plot wash over me and rarely try to figure it out on my own...I enjoy the surprise), but it was still very exciting. I was a bit annoyed by the length of the book. The second book in the trilogy is about twice the length of the first book. I like my book series to maintain a certain page length. The Parasol Protectorate series books by Gail Carriger were 400 pages (give or take) each. I like consistency. :) If you are considering this book, keep in mind that this book ends on much more of a cliffhanger than the first book. I am hoping that the final book will wrap everything up, because there are two more trilogies that are written in this world, and I am a bit concerned about how everything will work out.
