What is the author's style in Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb?

The language in the story is different at different times in the story depending upon who is speaking. Burrich and Fitz have their own way of speaking to each other and it shows the reader how much they are used to each other. It is a very friendly tone. They take on a different tone when they are talking to King Shrewd. Fitz also talks differently to an extent when he is talking to his teacher, Chade. The reader sees that the language will change to suite the situation. Kettricken, though straightforward and to the point, is very formal in her speaking. This seems to be more to ensure the fact that she is looked at as a capable queen rather than because she herself is formal.
