Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Joe Eyre’s performance in 'Royal Assassin' is nothing short of brilliant. His ability to convey the inner turmoil and calculated moves of Fitz, the royal bastard, adds a layer of realism that makes every scene feel alive. The pacing is masterful; Hobb's intricate plot twists are delivered with just enough suspense to keep you hooked until the very end. However, some scenes could benefit from a bit more emotional nuance, as the tension sometimes overshadows the quieter moments that could deepen Fitz’s character development further.
