It's been a long time since I've gotten so caught up in a fantasy world. I really loved this character-driven story of Fitz--a prince's bastard who is trained to be the royal family's assassin. All of the characters in the novel felt wholly developed. I liked that there was no real clear division between good and evil or right and wrong. The writing was very refreshing too. Overall, a highly entertaining book that presents some intriguing themes. Video review to come soon.
