Wolves have no Kings

I liked the book but it didn't capture me as much as I wanted. It was an improvement from Assassin's Apprentice, but compared to other books I have read that got 3 or 4 stars this one was lacking. There were parts that I found the story to thoroughly enjoyable, and then others the pace slowed right down. For the length of the book I expected a bit more enjoyment.

I didn't find Fitz's turmoil and whining to be a bother, I liked all the story lines but for the size of the book not a lot happened. I am not sure who the villain is in the story, is it the Red Ships or the political nature of Buckkeep? Neither saw much progression and there is no more known about the Red Ships at the conclusion of the book.

I will continue the series and hope that the final installment brings some conclusion, but at this point I am not sure I will continue on with Hobb's trilogies unless Assassin's Quest ends on a high note or subsequent trilogies are rated better.
