2018 might be the year of Robin Hobb.
I was in a huge reading slump while I waited for my favorite authors to release their new books, and Assassin's Apprentice singlehandedly rescued my 2017. I'm a huge fan of Fitz, huge fan of Burrich, and a huge fan of the story. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the series has in store! ...more

Awesome read! Can't wait to start Royal Assassin. This is the first book of Robin Hobb's that I have read and is one of my favourite authors already! I love her writing and world building. The character development in this book is just too good. I love Fitz and can't wait to follow him on his life journey.
I breezed through this one. I definitely recommend it :)

The first 150 pages I read over a year ago and I remember enjoying but for some reason I put it down and had no drive to pick this back up but when I did a couple of months after that I had no memory of anything and so put it back down. I then because of a read-a-long (https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...) pushed myself to start this again. I enjoyed the 150 pages a little but more this time around but after that I fell in LOVE with this book it just got so damn good!!

I have always been intimidated by epic fantasy, but based on the recommendation of Sam from the Sam's Nonsense YouTube channel, I decided to give this book a shot. I am so thankful I did. It took a little while to get into the book, but by the end I was invested in the story and rooting for the protagonist, Fitz. I think this was a great place to start for epic fantasy.

4.5 stars!
