Hi! I know you’re reading through Hobb’s books right now, so just wanted to give you a tip: don’t go straight to Fool’s Errand after Assassin’s Quest! There’s another trilogy between them, called the Liveship traders (starts with “Ship of Magic”) that happens in the same world and although it’s not a Fitz story IMHO you’ll spoil a very nice surprise in the 3rd trilogy if you don’t read them first.
