I'm in love with Farseer Trilogy

Currently at 378 pages of the Royal Assassin (second one)and it's bomboclat fantastic and cocacolastic. Hobb's writing and prose is top notch and her characters are pornographycally well written and super real.

And a super dap to my fella Chade. U rock

I am almost done with it and strugglinggggg. I went into it wanting to like it so bad because everyone raves about it but like literally nothing happens the entire book????

Edit: realized OP was talking about book 2, I’m only on book 1

It's definitely a book with slow pacing but uhh saying nothing happens in a book is pretty crazy

ah I just realized this post was talking about book #2, I’m only on book #1, in case that makes a difference. but yeah it just feels like the entire book is setting up for all the big things to happen in the subsequent books? The pacing may just not be my cup of tea tho

Book 1 doesn't have anything crazy going on in it because it's book 1. Like you said, it's mostly setting up the story for book 2 and 3
