Why read it?
1 author picked Assassin's Quest as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Quest is in the name, and does it ever live up to it! As the culmination of The Farseer Trilogy, it does the previous books justice. The journey is arduous, full of twists and turns, and the reader feels every wound Fitz suffers.
