A review by verosnotebook
Assassin's Apprentice Volume 1 by Jody Houser, Robin Hobb

4.0

Couldn’t resist getting this adaptation of Robin Hobb’s [b:Assassin's Apprentice|21956219|Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1)|Robin Hobb|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1398083044l/21956219._SY75_.jpg|171715], wondering how her prose and story would fare. In this first volume collecting the first 6 instalments, we are introduced to our beloved Fitz, the narrative following pretty closely to the novel’s. It is interesting how certain aspects had to be translated for a visual medium, namely the Wit and the Skill, but also more mundane ones, such as the look of our characters, something that was tainted by Fitz’s point of view in the book (everyone as ‘old’ when they weren’t). The art of course adds its own layer of meaning. I can’t help thinking I prefer the words in this instance ;O)
