I finished Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Apprentice, #1 in the Farseer Trilogy and Robin Hobb has a new fan. Fell in luv with Fitz and being in his head and how people treated him and how he reacted, how he was able to persevere through all the ups and downs and machinations involved. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy and perhaps the other trilogies involved.
“In a faraway land where members of the royal family are named for the virtues they embody, one young boy will become a walking enigma.
Born on the wrong side of the sheets, Fitz, son of Chivalry Farseer, is a royal bastard, cast out into the world, friendless and lonely. Only his magical link with animals – the old art known as the Wit – gives him solace and companionship. But the Wit, if used too often, is a perilous magic, and one abhorred by the nobility.
So when Fitz is finally adopted into the royal household, he must give up his old ways and embrace a new life of weaponry, scribing, courtly manners; and how to kill a man secretly, as he trains to become a royal assassin.”
Currently reading Lee Child and Andrew Child’s Reacher novel – In Too Deep. Enjoying it so far but it’s been a while since I read a Reacher novel so will have to go back and read some earlier books to see how Andrew’s writing compares to his dad’s.
“Reacher wakes up, alone, in the dark, handcuffed to a bed in a makeshift hospital room. His few possessions are gone. He has no memory of getting there. The last thing he can recall is the car he had hitched a ride in getting run off the road. The driver was killed. The people who staged the attack assume Reacher was the driver’s accomplice and patch up his wounds as they plan to make him talk. A plan that will backfire spectacularly . . .”
Not sure what will be reading for non fiction November yet, but I have plenty of choices to choose front. Now to see which one sticks.
