Y'ALL

So I started Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb and-

HOLY SHIT

I was raised on Ranger's Apprentice, and there was a good chunk of me that thought this was just gonna be similar but NO

I was expecting Burrich to fill the grumpy mentor turned father figure

You know, like Halt

(spoiler warning below)

But this dude. In the SECOND CHAPTER kills Fitz's dog, a dog mind you that I was excited to see become an animal companion who could SHARE MINDS with Fitz, because apparently sharing minds with animals turns the human into a beast!

I call bullshit! I say that it's just an older form of magic that's been misconstrued as time went on!

Killing his dog is gonna do irreparable damage to Fitz! Nosy was part of him! What the fuck Burrich!

I'm in love with this book so far if it isn't obvious lmao

#book #assassin's apprentice #hey it's a tag!#here's a funny connection between ra and this #i have no fucking idea what Fitz looks like.#all I have so far is that he has Outislander blood in him #the outislanders were described more like Pacific Islanders than vikings so-#eh #time to look at fanart
