A review by theforgottenstoryteller
Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

adventurous dark tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Did this book take me three months to finish...yes. And yet, I think it is going on my favorite shelf. I can see why Hobb has such a strong and loyal following. It is very, very heavy on the politics which makes sense owing to the fact that Fitz was the illegitimate son of a king trained up to be the "King's Man". The complexities of the relationships and characters in this book were quite well done.
