Praise for Assassin’s Apprentice:
“In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons”—George R.R. Martin
“Hobb is the author whose books Martin described as ‘like diamonds in a sea of zircons.’; the writer to press on those who turn up their noses at fantasy. Her writing is superb, her world-building irresistible, her storylines both hell-for-leather exciting and deeply introspective.”—The Guardian
“I would highly recommend Assassin’s Apprentice and the Farseer Trilogy. As you read you become ever more immersed in the story and it just seems to get better and better.”—Fantasy Book Review
