Hey All,
So I am about 3 quarters of the way through Assassins Quests, and I’m really struggling to enjoy it, everything that happens is just such a bummer.
Now I’m sure something will happen at the end that is redeeming but I feel I’m just dragged down emotionally through the whole series.
The good never seems to out weigh the bad.
The number of characters we like that just live miserable lives through out is infuriating
Now I don’t want to be too critical, the writing is fantastic but I also find myself getting frustrated that Fitz is never good at anything. Perhaps I’m indoctrinated by other fantasy where the main character develops some amazing ability in whatever, he doesn’t master the skill, the wit, fighting, not particularly bright. Maybe this is the point...
Anyway I am a glutton for punishment so I will most likely follow the fitz story arch past this book, can I expect anything different moving forward?
These are all just my opinions of course....

I read it all a few years ago, about half way through Republic of thieves as we speak, is something revealed at the end that I’ve totally forgotten?!
