What separates this book from all the rest?? I believe that Hobb is what I was looking for when reading Tolkien. Tolkien had such great stories to tell, however, I was lost in the lengthy descriptions of the surroundings. He painted too detailed a picture and I felt that it took away from his writin...
I received an ARC copy in return for an honest review.First off, I am an average-to-slow reader and have an awful habit of setting books aside, partly because as long as I don't finish the book it isn't over and partly because I have a very long list of things I want to read. So I took much longer t...
Damn Amazon and their clever marketing, Farseer Trilogy #1 (Kindle edition) priced at $0.99, Farseer Trilogy #2 at $7.99! Of course they know you are going to be hooked on the series by book #1, you’d have to be a philistine not to be (just kidding, if you truly dislike it just ignore me). I don’t e...
The first book of Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy, Assassin's Apprentice, is an easy-to-read fantasy adventure with political intrigue and social insecurity with a nice dose of magic. Written in the first person as a memoir of an older Fitz looking back at his oldest memories and the beginnings of his ...
5 Stars. An excellent epic fantasy - told in the first person. Fitz is the royal bastard of Prince Chivalry, brought up from the age of six by Burrich the stable-master. He has 'The Wit' - an ability to bond with animals but Burrich forbids him to use it. At the age of nine, he gains recognition fro...
This book caused me to get a little snippy with my husband. I was nearing the end, about 30 pages from the finish line, and he kept trying to talk to me. With most books, I could tear my attention away and not get cranky, but at that very moment, it was incredibly imperative that I continue reading ...
Well....this was my first Robin Hobb adventure and I liked it. It was okay but I think that if I hadn't been listening to it rather than reading it, I may not have finished it.This series may continue for me if my to-read pile shortens considerably. I find myself not particularily interested in wh...
I had all three of this trilogy on my bookshelf (in hardback even) but I've never read them, and I have no idea why. In fact when I picked this book up, I found a train ticket from 2008 marking the end of chapter 2, but I don't even recall reading that far. Go figure. Because I loved this book! An...
Yeah, right, assassin's apprentice my foot, ok, you got me.Of course there'll be assassination, plenty of them, BUT.. in this book there's so much more.This is a story about growing up without your mom, your dad and even your NAME, for god sake.Sometimes a men without a name is stronger than a man w...
