Assassin's Fate Hardback - 2017
by Robin Hobb
Reader reviews for Assassin's Fate
Review summary
Readers largely viewed Assassin’s Fate as a powerful, emotionally intense capstone to Robin Hobb’s 16-book Elderlings saga, applauding its sweeping closure across multiple series threads and the payoff for longtime readers. Many reported a profound emotional impact—often tears—alongside admiration for the scope, momentum in the back half, and the return of beloved characters. Critiques centered on pacing, particularly a slow, sometimes repetitive first half and occasional reliance on characters not communicating; a few felt some later events were rushed or certain character beats less vivid. Several urged newcomers to read the earlier trilogies first, and audiobook reactions were mixed due to soft delivery and uneven female voices.
