Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb is book two in the Farseer Trilogy. Fitz is recovering after his first mission as the king’s assassin and he vows to denounce his fealty and live a quiet life. However, events lead him back to Buckkeep and the intricacies of royal intrigue and betrayal. 

I loved this book more than the first! It felt much more fast-paced to me and maybe because the world has already been built and we are now into the nitty gritty of the story. 

Fitz grew a lot in this book. He had heartbreak, grief, some joy, and some serious will power. He was thrown blow after blow but he continues to rise to the occasion and show his loyalty and courage. 

I loved the relationship between him and Verity. I thought it was nice for him to have someone besides Burrich. Nighteyes was one of my favorite characters too. 

I seriously am really enjoying this series and cannot wait to start the next one.
