Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1) | Robin Hobb

bailed

1/5⭐ I was willing to give it a chance despite not connecting with the characters but stopped 10% in at the casual pet murder and an idiot adult expecting a 6 year old to understand what he was talking about without any explanation. #roll100

Assassin's Quest: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

pick

Well, that was quite a ride! Robin Hobb is an incredible storyteller (as a rarely-reads fantasy, big books or series reader, I‘ve finished the trilogy in 9 months, which is quite bizarre!). She‘s just kept pulling me back in. And (eventually) we even got dragons.

Time for a few months away, but I‘ll definitely be back to this world and (presumably.some of) these characters.

rockpools Special mention to Paul Boehmer for incredible, never-any-question-who‘s-speaking narration, even at double speed for 39 hours! 8mo

TrishB So glad you‘ve enjoyed it ♥️ the next trilogy is as good! 8mo

rockpools @TrishB Gah. What have you done to me?! So, which IS the next series? (I may save it for next year tho) 8mo

TrishB Ahhhhh, here is the crux of the matter. Fans are split on this. Do you want to read in a linear order or do you want to read the Fitz and the Fool follow ups? Then go back and read the others set in the same world. 🤔 8mo

rockpools @TrishB Huh. I KNEW there was a reason I didn‘t know the answer already! I kind of feel like F+F have reached a good pause point - I wasn‘t even sure if their stories continued - so I might try something else. Possibly. 8mo

TrishB Liveship Trader trilogy is next in linear order. F&F have 2 more trilogies. 8mo

rockpools @TrishB 👍 Thank you! I might try Liveship Trader next. And I might change my mind by the time I get to it! 8mo

RaeLovesToRead Read Liveships next would be my advice! I'm on the 1st book of the second Fitz trilogy now after reading Liveships. Liveships was amazing and it feels right reading them in order. 8mo

RaeLovesToRead When I read Assassin's Quest I gave it 3 stars in protest because I was like THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS END, but I should revisit that because there are like another 5 books 🤣🤣 8mo

Centique Well done you! This is how far I‘ve read too. I seem to really like starting trilogies but i take a long time finishing them! 8mo

“You are confusing plumbing and love. Again. “

Yes, I‘m still going with Fitz & (thankfully) The Fool. Robin Hobb is a master storyteller. I‘d decided I was DEFINITELY giving up after this book. Buuut… I‘ll probably need to carry on after a (long) break. She‘s kind of genius.

9 hours left, and 7 days before Libby eats the audiobook. I REALLY don‘t want to be left with waiting for 3 weeks for the final 90 minutes! (Ramps up speed to x2.5 😬)

🎧📚 34 books this month. So many 5 star books!

New Reads & Old.

Multiple re-reads that rocked!!

I‘d recommend these 16 for a variety of reasons.

I owe infinite reviews becuz … work … ARGH

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

vivastory I can definitely relate to work. Last week I did 65 hours & somehow still managed to read a couple of full books, go to the movies and start yellowjackets and I'm like, “How?!“ 9mo

Twainy @vivastory glad I‘m not alone!! impressive 😁 why is work so busy! How‘s Yellowjackets? I watched current season of Star Trek Strange New Worlds & finally saw the new Guardians 3. I‘d like to see Oppenheimer. There‘s no time for housework or grocery shopping! 9mo

vivastory I have to do a lot of professional development for most of this month in addition to my regular schedule for a pay increase. I watched the first 3 episodes of yellowjackets. I really like it so far! The creators do a great job getting the 90s vibe. I'm pretty tired of Marvel movies but I have to admit, I loved Guardians of the Galaxy 3. It's one of my favorite movies of the year. 9mo

Assassin's Quest: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

On one hand, it‘s still keeping my interest.
On the other hand, I keep deciding I‘ve had enough of the series now.
And yet I‘m still going.
**FOR ANOTHER 25 HOURS ⏰**
I‘ve thoroughly dissected my issues with epic fantasy (notably its epicness 🙄. Also, for a book called Assassin‘s Quest, there‘s way too much assassining. And questing).
But my main issue right now, is WHERE ARE THE DRAGONS???

I‘m really not a very good fantasy reader. Sorry!

Soubhiville This review is gold though! 9mo

Aimeesue "Assassining" should get much wider use. ? 9mo
