Assassin's Apprentice
Assassin's Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb
Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his fathers gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitzs blood runs the magic Skilland the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom. Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassins Apprentice Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobbs books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.George R. R. Martin A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies . . . a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne.Publishers Weekly This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you dont want it to be over.Steven BrustFrom the Paperback edition.

1/5⭐ I was willing to give it a chance despite not connecting with the characters but stopped 10% in at the casual pet murder and an idiot adult expecting a 6 year old to understand what he was talking about without any explanation. #roll100

🎧 I loved this book! I wasn‘t sure if I would. It‘s well written. Epic fantasy. Fitz is a typical kid, if not a little too perfect at times. A bastard Prince used as a pawn by his grandfather & uncles. Nosy & Smithy bring added depth and interest. I‘ll be adding book 2 to my TBR. If you haven‘t read it, you probably should.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is in the 40's here today so I took my first walk in the woods of the new year! 🌿💕📚 There was still some snow in the ground, and everything was a bit slippery, but it was SO worth it! I got to read on my favorite bench for a bit too! It really made me remember how much I love reading at the park and now I'm even more excited for spring to arrive!

A grounded, character-driven fantasy that relies on the strength of its worldbuilding and the humanity of its inhabitants to tell a believable, engrossing story.

It took me while to settle in, but once I had I rattled thro‘ - simply loved being in this world with Fitz.

It felt disturbingly current in places - Chivalry stepping away from his princely role, the powers that be appearing to do nothing in the face of threats to their people. And the misting felt very close to home!

The world she built is quite wonderful - even as a not-a-great-fantasy-reader, I can see myself coming back v soon for part 2!

Cinfhen I‘m considering reading (listening) to this one for #HighFantasy 😅 1y

Centique I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! 14mo
Centique @Cinfhen a couple of other ideas for you if this one doesn‘t work. Naomi Novik has two stand alone novels I loved - Spinning Silver and Uprooted. But if you end up wanting something shorter, perhaps the first Dark Materials book by Phillip Pullman (in the US it‘s called Golden Compass elsewhere called Northern Lights) It‘s middle grade but it‘s a compulsive read. Lyra the main character is a brilliant kid to root for. 14mo
Cinfhen Thanks for the suggestions @Centique FANTASY is so NOT my JAM - I need all the help I can get 14mo

I last read this twenty years ago, and honestly, I remembered that I loved it but not much else about it. It deserves every bit of hype that it has ever received. It is a wonderful book that had me guessing, fretting, speculating, and flat out worrying about Fritz, the protagonist, well past the end. In fact the 2nd book is going to get bumped and read rather quickly now as well. This is a fantasy masterwork. Full stop.

I really really love the paperback editions of this trilogy! The pretty script and gold touches on the covers are so so lovely! 😍📖 I did however save my original mass market paperbacks of this trilogy even though they're falling apart, because I am really attached to them!

vivastory I agree that the new editions are so eye catching! The first time I saw them I knew nothing about them but was curious bc of the cover 2y
Branwen @vivastory Right?! There's just something so beautiful and elegant about them! 😍 They really command your attention! I ended up replacing the first three trilogies with these paperback editions! With the other two series, I actually like the mass market paperback editions more, so I kept them as is! 2y
tokorowilliamwallace Hopefully I'll get to these and find some more thrifting. Currently still in the middle of the 9th one (as introduction to the author and series) I found at an airport bookstore because I was tempted by the thickness. 2y

🌟🌟🌟🌟. It‘s been awhile since I‘ve driven into some high fantasy. Excellent old school world building with characters to love or not. The magic is a bit underwhelming at this point, but being only on book one, I‘m sure I‘ll learn more. If Dickens were to write a fantasy, this would be the one.

blurb
DanaR

I finished this up last night. What a great read! The ending to book 1 felt a little rushed or incomplete, but that is probably intended due to the events that happened (Fitz isn‘t all-knowing!). I looooved the depth of descriptions. I read the illustrated version of the book, which was nice to “see” some of the characters. The artwork was very well done. I‘ll be picking up the next in the series as soon as I finish up another book or two.

MOBY in preparation for Bees, as I need a refresher on what‘s happened.
Assassin‘s Apprentice just cos I want to. I finished the RotE series a few months ago and I just miss the characters. Robin Hobb is amazing. I‘m loving the re-read, it‘s so good picking up on all the little intricacies now that I know the characters well and what‘s to become of them.

#thoughtfulthursday

1) I 🖤 them... especially if it's not immediately apparent they are unreliable. I'm quite easy to fool because I'm quite trusting (I.e. gullible) 🤣

2) I 🖤 my new Eddie the Bookworm bag.

3) I'd usually say Poirot or ASOI&F, but I've been thinking about Fitz and the Fool today - I still have the second trilogy to look forward to! Highly recommended.

Kindle tells me that I‘m 43% through the book, and I am already enthralled with the storytelling. An interesting world that you learn about bit by bit through the eyes of a boy. I already see myself picking up the next book as soon as I can.

MaureenMc I‘ve heard good things about Robin Hobb. Fantasy? 2y
TrishB Wonderful series. 2y
DanaR @MaureenMc Yep! So far I‘d call it low Fantasy, no different races or wizards, but there have been hints, so I might be wrong! 2y
MaureenMc @DanaR I‘ll have to add that to my TBR. I‘ve found fantasy to be more enjoyable than Sci-fi, although I know sometimes there‘s a very fine line between the two, so 🤷🏻‍♀️. 2y

I never should have put off reading Robin Hobb for so long! I've believed for years that she writes inaccessible high brow fantasy books but having seen a fair few booktubers tackle this series last year and watched their reviews I began to think that maybe that perception is wrong. And it was!

I ate this book up! I love a family saga and basically thats what this is, but in a fantasy world.

Loved it.

I read the Mad Ship trilogy a few years back and found them brilliant... Also enjoyed the rain wild chronicles. I guess this trilogy didn't quite meet my expectations... Although really good in terms of the world created and connecting with all of the characters, I felt it quite drawn out and it took me really long to finish. Glad I read them though!

This one does character so well that I thought the other parts of the story would fall flat but they don't. I usually struggle with books longer than 200 pages but this one had me. Plus big excite for where the Fool's story goes, because I was told, not spoilers, but things that encouraged me to start on the trilogy in the first place.

I know with a good book if get past at least the 2nd chapter or 20-30 pages in it will get completed. So will carry on. 2 weeks ago started the book try and at least read on one of my days off. Or even a chapter a day if time small goals and will get through it.

Every detail in this book was amazing. It hooked me from the first page. It wasn‘t a high fantasy novel. But I love a set up where the character is an underdog and eventually becomes the Hero. Fitz‘s story from his childhood has been told so beautifully by Hobb, it‘s like reading an autobiography. A fine balance between fine writing and an entertaining story!
