Remains as one of my all time favourite books.Having reread it in English, I can't remember ever hating Burrich as much as I did on the last pages of this book. Having said that, this time around I'm finding myself disliking Fitz too, occasionally. The self-hate is a bit thick at times and although ...
Many people criticize this book, but I can't quite understand why. To me it's like Assassin's Apprentice, but better (and longer). I found the first 10-15 pages to be a bit rocky, but it improves as we follow Fitz's life at Buckkeep, dealing with the numerous problems resulting from the Red Ship rai...
I'm really impressed by this series. Yes, as someone told me, it does grow very dark as it proceeds - but the young man at the center of it is born in difficult circumstances (illegitimate son of the heir to the throne) and grows up with very few choices, bound by an oath of loyalty to accept whate...
by Robin HobbOpening line: "Why is it forbidden to write down specific knowledge of the magics?"My overall reactions to this were fairly similar to the first book. The characters are interesting, I love that Hobb doesn't ignored the everydayness of her world (although there's less of that in this bo...

The major threat, the Red Ship Raiders, are simply not very credible. There is nothing devoted to a description or context except they raid and des...
Absolutely love this series. It's also a great entry point into the vast fantasy/adventure genre for people like me who have only read Harry Potter and the stray mainstream/commercial fantasy book.
I can't quite decide whether to give this book 4 or 5 stars - it's definitely a 4.5 book for me.This is an odd book. It's not a page-turner as such, yet I'm completely drawn into it and find myself thinking about the story even when not reading it. This second book in the trilogy is even bleaker tha...
In this second volume of Hobb's 'Assassin' trilogy, matters progress from bad to worse. As FitzChivalry Farseer recovers from the near-fatal assassination attempt on him by Prince Regal, he begins to see that Buckkeep and the Six Duchies are falling apart around him. The Red-Ship Raiders grow ever m...
