About this ebook

The complete Farseer Trilogy by international bestselling author Robin Hobb.

‘In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons’ George R. R. Martin

The kingdom of the Six Duchies is on the brink of civil war when news breaks that the crown prince has fathered a bastard son and is shamed into abdication. The child’s name is Fitz, and he is despised.

Raised in the castle stables, only the company of the king’s fool, the ragged children of the lower city and his unusual affinity with animals provide Fitz with any comfort.

To be useful to the crown, Fitz is trained as an assassin; and to use the traditional magic of the Farseer family. But his tutor, allied to another political faction, is determined to discredit, even kill him. Fitz must survive: for he may be destined to save the kingdom.

Enter the extraordinary world of Robin Hobb’s magnificent Farseer Trilogy.

This bundle includes Assassin’s Apprentice (book one), Royal Assassin (book two) and Assassin’s Quest (book three).

Excellent fantasy series. One of the few that stays with you. The main character can be irritating and dense at times but all round the sort of trilogy fantasy readers cherish. I was frustrated by the complete lack of strong female characters though. This really let the series down in my opinion.

I first read the books in hardcover Dutch, but reading the English digital version made me painfully aware of how much was lost in the translation. I love reading the story again, especially in English. Robin Hobb has that special way to put words on paper which makes the story of Fitz truly come to life.

About the author

Robin Hobb is one of the world’s finest writers of epic fiction.She was born in California in 1952 but raised in Alaska, where she learned how to raise a wolf cub, to skin a moose and to survive in the wilderness. When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels. She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State.
