Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Assassin's Apprentice opens as a close, first-person coming-of-age set in a gritty royal court; much of the book is Fitz’s interior life, apprenticeship, and the secret Wit bond with animals. what works best is an immersive portrait of a lonely, flawed protagonist and slow-building moral complexity rather than plot fireworks. The most useful part is how it shows character through small domestic scenes and long training arcs. The main limitation is pace: scenes can linger on mood and repetition, which frustrates readers who want faster plotting.”
