Fans disappointed by the slow pace and tight focus of Fool's Assassin will be pleased with Fool's Quest. Following his attack on the Fool and the capture of Bee, this second book in The Fitz and The Fool Trilogy sees Fitz return to Buckkeep to plot with friends old and new. Pacing-wise, Fool's Quest moves along a lot quicker than Fool's Assassin; threads begin to unravel, secrets are revealed, and Fitz begins to do something other than bum around Withywoods. (That being said, I would happilyHoly crap. When's the next book coming out?? Review to come....need to process. Short version: loved it.Updated: Full Review at Tenacious Reader: http://www.tenaciousreader.com/2015/0...So, even if it has been a little while since you read Fools Assassin, hopefully you remember the insanity that ensued right at the very end. Talk about a cliffhanger of a ending from that book! What that means is that this book starts in the fray, theres no slow getting reacquainted with the quiet life of Fitz.
I've nothing to add to my original review, but I feel like until I have Assassin's Fate in my hands, I'll be trapped in a Skill-pillar. Someone pass the Sandsedge brandy, please.**********************************************Deep breaths, deep breaths. There is another book coming. It doesnt end there and no one will die there. (Yet. Probably. ARGH.) DEEP BREATHS, SELF.Well, damn. Robin Hobb has only gone and done it again. This book has so much that I've wanted to see happen ever since the end
This is my very measured, nuanced review of Fool's Quest:AHHH. AHHHH. AHHHHHHHH!I feel like I've been dragged through a Skill Pillar. I have left bits of myself in the Six Duchies, with Fitz, the Fool, Bee, and everyone else. New characters to love, old ones to learn more about. I don't want to go back to the real world.And I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
And here comes the real review, not just updates of my desperate attempt to get the book...All hail Robin Hobb Queen writer of fantasy!Seriously this book was so amazingly good that I now sit here writing and knowing that I will never be able to put down in words how fantastic the book is. For everyone that has read Rob Hobb before and not yet read this book or the one before will I say that you will love this series, the books just keep getting better and better and Hobb still knows how to
Oh my. That ending, I am so glad I don't have to wait for the last book. That would have killed me. As always I've put the spoiler tag on. This is the penultimate book in the series and so much comes together in this book that I'd hate to spoil anyone. So consider yourself warned that this will probably contain spoilers for the previous books and definitely spoilers for this one. Also as with all my reviews they should come with a ramble tag, because my crazy brain likes to have ten thousand
In time I may add more to this review after giving it awhile to sink in. So much of this book was easily a 5-star read for me, hampered, if only slightly, by stops and starts. Some of the best writing of the series was included here, along with perfectly intense pacing and plot. Then, the story would slow, or as in the last 50 pages, come to a near halt by suddenly taking a different path. Thats not new for Hobbs works. Typically, I love that new and unexpected path. This time I just wanted Fitz
