Also, I should add that I am not using bastard loosely. So Fitz, the bastard, now has a daughter who is also a bastard. He witnesses the birth by using his gift of the skill. Fitz doesn’t understand this, yet when the truth comes out, he realizes he should have known what she was saying. Molly tells Fitz she has someone else who requires her and will make the right choice. Molly, Fitz’s love, has left the castle and left him. But King Verity isn’t doing too well, and we know that to be true. However, Fitz knows that to be a lie, using the skill and being able to use that to talk to King Verity and all. He’s told everyone that King Verity has died on his pilgrimage to find the elderlings. Unfortunately.Īnyway, King Regal is a winner. I assume, as he is the assassin for the king, that it’s just what comes with the job. That’s two times he’s almost died, this time for real. I will warn you right now that I am about to reveal some significant spoilers from the end of book two, so if you haven’t read book two, stop and fix that asap. “This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you don’t want it to be over.Here we go, the last book in the series. a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne.” - Publishers Weekly “A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies. Praise for Robin Hobb and Assassin’s Apprentice And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission.
For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill-and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family.Īs barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”-George R.
