About this product

Product Information

"Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb's books are diamonds in a sea of zircons."--George R. R. Martin Fitz has barely survived his first hazardous mission as king's assassin. Battered and bitter, he vows to abandon his oath to King Shrewd, remaining in the distant mountains. But love and events of terrible urgency draw him back to the court at Buckkeep, and into the deadly intrigues of the royal family. Renewing their vicious attacks on the coast, the Red-Ship Raiders leave burned-out villages and demented victims in their wake. The kingdom is also under assault from within, as treachery threatens the throne of the ailing king. In this time of great danger, the fate of the kingdom may rest in Fitz's hands--and his role in its salvation may require the ultimate sacrifice. Praise for Robin Hobb and Royal Assassin "[Robin] Hobb continues to revitalize a genre that often seems all too generic, making it new in ways that range from the subtle to the shocking." -- Locus "[ Royal Assassin ] reaches astonishing new heights. . . . The Farseer saga is destined for greatness--a must-read for every devotee of epic fantasy." -- Sense of Wonder

Royal Assasin by Robin Hobb
First of all, this book is labeled as being by Megan Lindholm, but is in fact written by Robin Hobb. This is a great book with lots of intrigue, surprises and an amazing climactic ending you will never suspect. This isnt a normal phantasy book in the sense that magic is used to tie up any inconveniences or plot mistakes. Instead it is an intriguing political drama where magic takes a place on the side-line, and cunning/guile determine one's outcome. Although the book isnt completely flawless, I would recommend this book (and the trilogy) to everyone. Out of the trilogy - this one stands alone as my favorite. I still cant get over the ending.

Not sequential, not compelling.
This is a great read. The author is a true minstrel, telling the story of coming-of-age in a time and position that becomes real. The prose are flowing and compelling. Makes me want more of the story.

The magic road grows longer and darker
This series is a great joy to me. In this second book Hobb's vivid characters (and world!) become even more alive . My only regret is in the way that I charged through it in order to get to the third book. Thankfully there are several other books which feature this world and are a part of the magic.

well worth the effort
never having heard of robin hobb up until a few months ago, i picked up the first book in this series on a whim. while it was a little slow to start, after about forty or fifty pages the plot really started moving and i was hooked. this book was a similar experience for me... i'm only halfway through so i can't speak for the ending, however i've really sunk my teeth into royal assassin-- and i'm looking forward to the end of finals next week so i can spend more time with this book! a great title, but start with assassin's apprentice-- and don't be discouraged if it starts a little slow!
