Fantasy. Fiction. Thriller. HTML:Since Robin Hobb’s debut novel took the fantasy world by storm, the adventures of her beloved assassin FitzChivalry Farseer have spawned a sweeping epic that spans more than a dozen books—and counting. Discover the phenomenon from the beginning with this eBook bundle of the original trilogy:
 
ASSASSIN’S APPRENTICE
ROYAL ASSASSIN
ASSASSIN’S QUEST
 
Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. He is treated as an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill—and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family.
 
As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom.
 
Praise for Robin Hobb and the Farseer Trilogy
 
“Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin
 
“A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies . . . a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne.”Publishers Weekly, on Assassin’s Apprentice
 
“This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower as you get to the end, because you don’t want it to be over.”—Steven Brust, on Assassin’s Apprentice
 
“[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, on Royal Assassin
 
“[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
 
“An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama.”Kirkus Reviews (starred review), on Assassin’s Quest
 
“Superbly written, wholly satisfying, unforgettable: better than any fantasy trilogy in print—including mine!”—Melanie Rawn, on Assassin’s Quest.

Robin Hobb Collection I bought the first book in the trilogy as my "christmas read" purely on the strength of the user reviews on Amazon. I don't normally read fantasy or whatever this genre is. Within the first half hour I was completely hooked. I flew through it enjoying every page.I live in an out-of-the-way place in an out-of-the-way country (NZ). Thanks to the wonders of the Kindle I could buy the second and third books and keep on reading. All up around 2000(?) pages.I found the characters believable and the settings credible. The constantly interwoven threads all hung together to make a riveting read. The introduction of "fantasy concepts" was smooth and not laboured and done in a way that made the whole thing more multilayered and at the same time simple enough to be able to follow.I didn't need a geneological(?) tree to know who was who and I also didn't need a map to work out where things were.I won't rehash the plot as I couldn't do it enough credit.If you are not a fantasy reader (like me) and you fancy a gamble then get the first book and give it a go.

What a trilogy.... One of the best series I've ever read. I can't even write a review. It's just well written, expertly crafted story. Highly recommended. ( )

This Farseer trilogy is fabulous! Action, intrigue, deceit, mystery, magic, THE WORKS! This one was even more suspenseful than the Soldier's Son Trilogy - I can't wait for the next one in the series......? ( )

Fitz is raised in the stables by the grumphy stablemaster and later on by a mystic scarred man that lives in the shadow of the royal court. Fitz has a secrets, he has the royal magic running in his blood and also an older and darker forbidden magic. ( )
