Reddit reviews Assassin's Fate: Book III of the Fitz and the Fool trilogy

The Stolen Child by Keith Donahue
The John Wayne Cleaver books
A Fine and Private Place by Peter S. Beagle
I'll agree with others...Robin Hobb's Assassin's Fate.

Worth the Candle got too depressing for me to get through. Most recently, the doomed romance plot in The Salamanders was kinda heartbreaking for me...even though objectively it isn't a tragedy and the story isn't over. It's interesting how a low stakes story where the author takes the time to make the characters feel real has more impact then authors who blow up planets willy-nilly or fall all over themselves to be Darker and Grittier

New Robin Hobb book is out. So if seems like I'm ignoring you, it is probably because I am.
