This was a delightful, and sometimes devastating, beginning to what I know is a long and winding fantasy tale of our young fitzchivalry. I quickly saw how the series is so beloved, and I’m so excited to explore more of the world of the realm of the elderlings.

One of the best books I have ever read. It absorbed every fiber of my being as I read and could not even think when I set it down.

Such an entertaining read.

I love this series. I’ve always loved it. The illustrated editions are amazing and bring images to characters I’ve known for 30 years.

Ten out of Ten!!! I grew very fond of Fitz character. Can’t wait to see what journey the next book in the

One feels like a participant in Hobb’s stories. Excellent!

Nice

The Assassin’s Apprentice takes us into an exciting world of courtly intrigue. Following Fitz’s journey from boyhood to the king’s assassin is a delightful read. Highly recommend. One of the best books I’ve ever read.

Fairly good plot with a few notable holes, interesting characters lacking slightly in depth, good ending that closed out a little to neatly and quickly. A good read, just not on the level of Tolkien, Martin, Lewis, or Rothfuss.

Couldn’t put down this rich and satisfying read.
