A review by august30th
Assassin's Apprentice, by Robin Hobb

4.0

This book was an excellent beginning to what seems to be a promising series. It was a slow burn, but started paying off towards the end. I expected there to be more action and high points, and the lack of them is what gave this 4 stars.

The characters are all interesting. Fitz seems to be a little bit of a Mary Sue. The Fool is very intriguing, and I hope to see more of him.

The author has a unique writing style and manages to convey so much. The narration of this book was unlike anything I’ve ever read before.
