All the Time in the World
My taste in reading material is wide and varied: SF/fantasy/"speculative fiction", mysteries (police procedurals, mostly), history, fanfic, straight fiction, smutty vampire books, biographies, poetry, cereal boxes, assembly instructions, the fine print, and your mind.
Assassin's Quest
Somewhat disappointing end to this trilogy. I suppose I knew as I got deeper into the 2nd book (Royal Assassin) that the magical elements would have to get resolved in some way, and I suppose I should have known that they would have to take a more prominent place in the story. It sort of "jumped the shark" (IMO) in doing that, though, and took what had been a story of a young man who was born with unusual gifts and placed in an inescapable position at a young age, dealing with it the best he could, to a sort of deus ex machina ending where he saves the day by means of those gifts. I did appreciate that it wasn't a "happily ever after" resolution - more realistic that way (if one can call any fantasy book "realistic.")
