A review by _tomeraider
The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince by Robin Hobb

challenging hopeful sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

This book put me through a slew of emotions in less than 200 pages. The story was tragic and hopeful at the same time. This definitely gives some good set up to Assassin's Apprentice and I look forward to my reread of that book now that I've read this novella. 

Robin Hobb truly is a master of her craft.
