Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom.

Absolutely stunning performance by Paul Boehmer
The Farseer trilogy is quickly becoming one of my favorite works of fiction. The author carefully builds a gallery of complex and believable characters that both fulfill and transcend their given archetypes. The setting is deep and engaging and the story that takes place there is an absolutely masterful tour of themes like loyalty, friendship, love, duty, hatred and sacrifice. Robin Hobb constructs a living, breathing world around the characters with the immersive writer's voice that she maintains throughout the work. This is in turn rendered magnificently by Paul Boehner, who reads it as if it were an autobiographical work from another life. I will recommend it to my friends, and I recommend it to you.

Any additional comments?
An excellent follow up to Assassin's Apprentice, this book is full of action and adventure. Several times I found myself sitting in my car for several minutes at the end of my commute, waiting for a good place to pause the story, but they are hard to find! Once again, Paul Boehmer reads excellently, and does the story a great justice in the telling.

Disappointing
I loved reading the first book in the trilogy, and still think Robin Hobb a good author. While the story here is inventive and I was looking forward to listening to this one, it was spoiled by the narration. Is this meant to be an English accent? Incompetent voice coach if it is. I would have given no stars if possible. I shall get the third book from the library and read it, far more satisfying to give the characters voices n my own head.

Dont know what it is...
I love parts of the book, when I get involved with strong feelings towards the charcters and events of the story. I just dont think that happens quite enough.
Not quite enough is what I think about much of this and the other Farseer books. I dont quite see it, dont quite feel it, dont quite love it.
And yet I want to read on.

Wolfserker Origins!
In Viking legends they mention the berserkers and the wolf warriors. This book was intense. At some moments it drags on a little but in the end it's all for the better. Much richer in scope than the first book. Gets really depressing at some points but I don't know if it's a bad thing. I'll let you decide.
Reader is great and getting better too.

Excellent story but reader’s accent isn’t great
Great part 2 to this trilogy. Unfortunately the reader is American and for some reason using a false British accent. It’s over-done and very posh / weird vowels and slips every now and then into an American or other unknown accent. Why not just use his own accent?

This is a frustrating book. Fitz is so incredibly dumb that almost the whole book you'll be shaking your head wondering wtf the author was thinking. His friends aren't much brighter.

You can't be serious!?
Fitz and Co. are so blindingly stupid, inept, and narcissistic that by halfway through the book I stopped hating Regal. In fact, I am now firmly on Regals side as he is the only one honest to himself and willing to take any form of action without having to spend months thinking about how his feelings feel about his feelings and making sure his feelings feel looked after and are fed a constant diet of self loathing mixed with the most enormous pity party every recorded. I am sure in the knowledge that the only thing that will be good for the six Duchies is to forge the entirety of the population, burn the Farseer line to ash and remove all memory of them from the histories of the land.
The performance of the book was excellent however.

I really enjoy this book and I can go on and on and on about what I loved about this book and I don't have anything really bad to say about it. I enjoyed how it was written, I enjoyed the narrator, I enjoyed the storyline.
It wasn't a perfect book and there were parts where I was annoyed at the main character for not realising what was going on or making a stupid mistake but I loved how he seemed to learn from them.
I have also decided that I want a pet wolf like Nighteyes ❤️🐺

Assassin Assaulted - Fitz in deep trouble
If you could sum up Royal Assassin in three words, what would they be?
Engaging. Engrossing. Enjoyable
What was one of the most memorable moments of Royal Assassin?
When Fitz bonds with NIght Eyes
What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A compulsion to read on as the plot continues to thicken.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Engaged all the way through.
Any additional comments?
I fitting book 2 that develops the threads in the first book to build intrigue.

Great series
Where does Royal Assassin rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A great story and well conceived
Which character – as performed by Paul Boehmer – was your favourite?
I know a few other reviewers don't like Boehmer's narration style. I must admit in the first book, I initially thought it was very odd. Now I absolutely love it. His high english accent is a bit of a hoot really, but his characterisation of each character is great. Each character has a unique accent and tone and I for one have really grown to love his style. This is not one of those books where the narrator ruins the book. In fact, now that I've gotten past the high english accent, I can't think of anyone better for the book. And the story is really worth it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes but also I wanted to savour it.
