My husband and I read together at nighttime before bed every night and for the last few nights Assassin's Apprentice has been our companion. It is usually rare for both of us to agree on a rating but this one was unanimous. This was really well written, seamlessly executed, the pace was perfect and ...
"Of one other I must speak, one dragged into that conflict and intrigue only by his loyalty to me. To the end of my days, I will bear the scars he gave me. His worn teeth sank deeply into my hand several times before he managed to drag me from that pool. How he did it, I will never know. But his hea...
I kept hearing about how great this series was and the first book was going for a reduced price, so I gave it a try. As Fantasy goes, it's okay. All the ingredients are there. The characters have a certain amount of appeal and the plot moves along at a reasonable pace most of the time. So why only...
The erstwhile king's illegitimate child is appointed killer-in-training by the new king but is also a clueless sort of St Francis of Assisi who might or might not have any talent for telepathically interacting with other people but can talk to puppies. Some delicious political intrigues and a delici...
After a string of really bad books I've read recently, this one was a blessing from the skies.I haven't read a lot by Robin Hobb, but what I have read has left me entranced with her sensibility, world-building and characters. Nothing is obvious, and yet everything is clear. There are so many levels ...

It was actually a book I really wanted to read at the time, but, as I'm sure a lot of book-lovers have experienced, another book came into my life and stole my attention and A...
As you can probably guess by my rating... I adore this book. There's something very comforting about the writing that just grips me each time I read it. I love all the characters even though all their names are silly. The main character, FitzChivalry, and all his friends, mentors, and enemies... t...
I LOVED IT First and foremost, Hobb has a way with words. There were certain scenes that made me ache with sympathy. That was my favorite part about this book. This is definitely a character driven book. If you boil down what happened action wise, you’d have pretty much nothing until about the l...
This has in theory some nice writing. Some elaborate world-building. Some solid characterization. Some slow development. BUT: it is boring me to tears. I read for days (when I could bring myself to picking it up), and the protag is still a little kid. It started with his first memories at six ye...
