Robin Hobb fantasy is like no other. Why do these kinds of books have the most god awful covers. It's like slapping gcse photography work over The Bible like what is that

"Ranking alongside George R. R. Martin as a groundbreaking master of fantasy, New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb delivers the second book in her long-awaited Fitz and the Fool trilogy.The harrowing adventures of FitzChivalry Farseer and his enigmatic friend the Fool continue in Robin Hobb's triumphant follow-up to Fool's Assassin. But Fool's Quest is more than just a sequel. With the artistry and imagination her fans have come to expect, Hobb builds masterfully on all that has gone before, revealing devastating secrets and shocking conspiracies that cast a dark shadow over the history of Fitz and his world--a shadow that now stretches to darken all future hope. Long ago, Fitz and the Fool changed the world, bringing back the magic of dragons and securing both the Farseer succession and the stability of the kingdom. Or so they thought. But now the Fool is near death, maimed by mysterious pale-skinned figures whose plans for world domination hinge upon the powers the Fool may share with Fitz's own daughter. Distracted by the Fool's perilous health, and swept up against his will in the intrigues of the royal court, Fitz lets down his guard. and in a horrible instant, his world is undone and his beloved daughter stolen away by those who would use her as they had once sought to use the Fool--as a weapon. But FitzChivalry Farseer is not without weapons of his own. An ancient magic still lives in his veins. And though he may have let his skills as royal assassin diminish over the years, such things, once learned, are not so easily forgotten. Now enemies and friends alike are about to learn that nothing is more dangerous than a man who has nothing left to lose.

i love you robin hobb i'm so glad you have this much fun ruining my life

Ok so this was great and I loved it but at the same time why did he wait literally 70% of the book to go after his missing daughter?? 

That was my only complaint. But it really affected how the book was paced to me. 

Still good tho

Book 15/16 in The Realm of the Elderlings and it's still getting better and better.

With The Fool near death, and no sign of his little daughter Bee, Fitz is drowning in despair. He must pull himself together and search for her. Skills long buried must be honed again, and those responsible must pay. WOW!!!! I thought the last book deserved a 5 star rating, but this was even more amazing! Robin Hobb is a genius, and I can't believe I just now started to read her books. I have been missing out!

** spoiler alert **
           Can't wait for the next book. How can you not love Fitz. Excellent continuation of the story. Love the characters... Frustrating... Just save Bee already!
