Assassin's Apprentice

I had very high expectations about this one and maybe because of them i give this “only” 3 stars. The magic system is great and reading the [b:The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince 16244663 The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince (Realms of the Elderlings, #0.5) Robin Hobb https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357838601s/16244663.jpg 21858020] before starting the actual story seemed to make a lot of sense at least for me. Nothing too wild but the “wit” and the “skill” and “forging” add a great element into the world. I somehow felt that there is not enough interaction between the main character FitzChivalry and some of the more interesting characters such as Galen, Regal and Verity or the king. A nice start for things, but i hope things really take off in the next one!
