Nick East (Indie writer) finished reading Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb
I said of the first book, I do think it could be 10% better if it was 10% shorter. Unfortunately this one take that even furhter. Now at least every third paragraph feels like it's just repetition that adds nothing. So it could easily be 40% shorter and might be 50% better for it, I'll still give it 3 stars but it's close to a 2.
