The first book in Robin Hobb's beloved Farseer Trilogy, Assassin's Apprentice introduces Fitz — the illegitimate son of a prince — who is trained in the arts of assassination and magic. As Fitz grows into his role, he must navigate loyalty, betrayal, and the dangerous politics of the Six Duchies. A richly imagined fantasy classic and a masterclass in character-driven storytelling.
Perfect for fans of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, or Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence. Praised for its emotional depth and slow-burn political intrigue.
Rated 4.2/5 on Goodreads — "A masterclass in character-driven fantasy."
