This wonderful fantasy novel is part of Robin Hobb's Assassin series, which began with three Assassin books, and continued with three Tawny Man books. The Golden Fool is the second of those novels, and can't really be read as a stand-alone book. You've got to have the background the other novels give you, and they're also excellent in their own right, well worth your time.
I won't bother going into any plot details - they won't make any sense if you don't know the characters. However, The Golden Fool is one of the most exciting books in the series, given that it promises to reveal so many secrets that have been previously hinted at, and sets up the final book, Fool's Fate, to be an incredible conclusion. Five out of five.
