Query: It's nice to read a book when the Good guys suffer sometime!

Ms Hobbs continues to amaze me with were she's going with Fitz and this tale. I'm committed now to see this out to the end in the "Asses Quest" book 3. Without Burrich, Chade, or the Fool, Young Fitz would no doubt be truly dead long by now. He has so much potential but can be pretty stupid at times (many times). Makes for an unlikely hero which is o.k. by me. Royal Ass is an excellent follow-up to Ass apprentice. Enjoy!
