Awesome. I think this was even better than the previous Farseer books. Edit: I read some reviews saying that nothing happens. Yes, there is less action in the fields of battle, journey and so on. It's different in comparison to the previous books. But I can't agree that nothing happens. There happens quite a lot, although in a slow and silent way. Robin Hoob introduces the reader to a new part of her world's mythology. The whole book is basically about the uprising of a White, which indeed has a lot to do with the Fool! I think this slow introduction is necessary to set the course for the next two books. I guess they will include more action in such a way, that things are getting pretty messy and more like the previous books. But nevertheless, the Fool's Assassin with its lighter and more casual tone is needed to draw a stark contrast to the following books. I can't wait to read the next books.
