 Never ending December 30, 2008
It's one of the worst book I ever read.
Too many boring details, never ending descriptions.
It seems as if the author was going to be paid on the number of written pages.
The first book is really good, the second is ok, this one is ... just disappointing.
 a let down September 4, 2008
The first two books in the series were well written, I got a feeling, however, that they were leading up to something really good. Fitz never really fully learned to skill properly and the limits of this gift were neer truly explored by the books. The final installment of the triology Assassins Quest had a good start to the journey, followed by what seems like too much pointless detail into the travelling, then followed by the worst ending I've seen in a trilogy. The ending is, in my opinion, the best bit in all books, but after I had finished the book, I wish I hadn't even started the trilogy. Much disappointment :-(
Trudi Canavans Black Magician trilogy was much better!!!
Die horribly for turning Fitz into a little girl. August 2, 2008

I was amazed with Assassins Apprentice and loved Royal Assassin, but this was an atrocious way to end what could have been one of the greatest fantasy epics ever conceived. Yeah, she can write, there is no doubt about that, but the direction that she took Fitz in mentally is of a whining self pitying little girl. And he was anything but that in the previous two books. An absolute shame, and everything she's written since is pretty bland too.
 Poor ending June 26, 2008
Loved the first two. Deliberately saved the final book for my two-week holiday to Canada. Great start but it is as others have said: a rushed and poorly thought out ending. I could not believe what I was reading. She set the bar high but let the side down with a real shoddy finale.
 Brilliant May 3, 2008
It is without doubt a fantastic story; fast paced and enthralling. I would highly recommend it. Mind you the trilogy has stolen the last three days of my life- i've been unable to put it down!
