He's gonna kill a king the exact same way he killed a dragon. It won't technically be a king, just some hereditary monarch at the head of some feudal system.

Or it was a real king, but it was an accident. Or it was the wrong king, he killed the good one by mistake. Or any other zinger you can think of.

Which is what I thought I was getting after the first thirty pages or so of NotW: a gently caress-up fail-forward rear end in a top hat admitting all the amazing stories about him were total bullshit, basically a better reputation fantasy Flashman. I can think of about three thousand ways of this being better than whatever we actually got.

I remember enjoying the Assassin trilogy and the Liveship trilogy when they came out (which is apparently a long time ago). Then I think there was another Fitz trilogy with a lot of the Fool in it, which I remember absolutely nothing about, and some absolutely mental thing about some kid in military college who gets kidnapped by a tribe of feeders who make him incredibly obese. Really full of strange choices, I was perplexed by the whole endeavour.
