In the previous book, Fitz bonds with a dog. In this book, he bonds with a wolf. What's the next step, the final evolution? What's the Blastoise of wolves?
These questions not answered in the episode, but it's still a fun discussion of a great book.

We're continuing with the second book in the Farseer Trilogy, Royal Assassin. And goddamit, it's even better than the first one.

And we're sorry about the weedwhacker noise in the background of Danylo's audio about halfway through. If we could go back in time and kill the weedwhacker guy, we would.
