Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Bloody fucking hell Hobb is a marvel.

Her exploration of the philosophies of mankind is so nuanced and interesting. It makes her books SO much more nuanced than kingdoms battling each other, and it's amazing.
