About this ebook

The complete Farseer Trilogy by international bestselling author Robin Hobb.

‘In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons’ George R. R. Martin

The kingdom of the Six Duchies is on the brink of civil war when news breaks that the crown prince has fathered a bastard son and is shamed into abdication. The child’s name is Fitz, and he is despised.

Raised in the castle stables, only the company of the king’s fool, the ragged children of the lower city and his unusual affinity with animals provide Fitz with any comfort.

To be useful to the crown, Fitz is trained as an assassin; and to use the traditional magic of the Farseer family. But his tutor, allied to another political faction, is determined to discredit, even kill him. Fitz must survive: for he may be destined to save the kingdom.

Enter the extraordinary world of Robin Hobb’s magnificent Farseer Trilogy.

This bundle includes Assassin’s Apprentice (book one), Royal Assassin (book two) and Assassin’s Quest (book three).

Two things: 1) The author is excellent at creating characters and drawing you in...superb story telling. 2) I do not enjoy books where the main character is so unlikeable. Fitz is whining, inept, and a bit stupid. I also prefer the "hero" to sometimes win. For me, the story was frustrating and depressing except for the last 3 chapters of book 3. If I want to be frustrated and depressed, I will watch the news.

Excellent fantasy series. One of the few that stays with you. The main character can be irritating and dense at times but all round the sort of trilogy fantasy readers cherish. I was frustrated by the complete lack of strong female characters though. This really let the series down in my opinion.
