Who is the author? Brian Staveley

[Silvia]

Which book did you read? Assassin's Apprentice

Who is the author? Robin Hobb

Did you enjoy the book? Yes, a lot!

Will you read more stories by this author in the future? Definitely! I heard that the second book of the series is very good and I'm looking forward to read it. The author has created a wonderful world with her Realm of the Elderlings and her other books take place in the same universe, so I think it will be interesting to continue reading this series or explore a little in her other series.
