Pretty solid, but not perfect.I was vibing with Assassin's Apprentice for the most part. Robin Hobb’s writing is very impressive; super descriptive, immersive, and cozy, and she really knows how to capture the emotions of the characters, which makes it way easier to get invested in their journeys. The world-building is on point, and I loved how diverse the characters were, each with their own unique personalities. That being said, there were definitely some parts where it felt like things were just dragging. I get that there's a lot of build-up, but a couple of chapters could’ve been trimmed.But the best part? Hobb made me seriously care about Fitz. He definitely has abandonment issues and deals with depression. The way he talked about his loneliness and the way some of the other characters treated him so badly made me want to give him a big hug so it hurt even more because I couldn’t do anything but read about his pain. I'm so invested in his story and can't wait to see where he goes from here. oh, also shout out to Lady Patience!!! A QUEEN
