Welcome to the new series read! Post here if you have read or are planning on reading Assassin's Apprentice. No spoilers please!

I am planning on starting my re-read when I finish my current book!

[Kathi, Moderator & Book Lover]

I will be re-reading this but I have a couple other books to read first. Might not get to it until late in the month.

I'm hoping to find time to read this soon. I've got the book waiting for me at the top of the pile on my desk.

I've read it a couple of times - she's probably my favourite author (living, at least). I won't be re-reading it this month, but I'll be curious to see what other people think. I think Hobb's one of if not the greatest modern fantasy author, and it's always great when other people discover her.

Mind you, kudos to those taking this on. I wouldn't commit to read 16 novels by an author I hadn't read before!

I just saw this and am excited to read along! I have not yet read any of these but have heard good things!

[DivaDiane]

This will be a reread for me, but I’m in!

[Lindsey]

I read this about 8 years ago and have been itching to re-read it since the latest trilogy was finished. I won't have a chance this month but I'll speed read the first couple and catch up this fall!

I've finally started reading this. How have I not read these books before now?!

[DivaDiane]

I’m finally making some progress! I suppose I’m about a third through my 3rd read-through. Now, having read the last book in the series just last year, I’m noticing that Hobb really set the stage for the entire series right in this very first book. Amazing!
