The Farseer: Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

[pulpjunkie]

The first book of Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy is an excellent example of the fantasy sub-genre usually called "epic fantasy". Assassin's Apprentice tells the coming-of-age story of a young royal bastard named FitzChivalry (known almost exclusively as Fitz), and of his navigation of palace intrigues while being trained in secret as a royal assassin

Thanks for the kind words! I think I was subconsciously aspiring to the hard-boiled terseness I enjoy reading. I had yo go back in this last time, and make it a little clearer that I think "Assassin's Apprentice" is a very good book. I was afraid I'd said it too quickly. I also tend to sweat my word choices a bit, and I seem to be deathly afraid of getting a fact wrong on the internet. Still, it's getting easier the more I do.

A couple months back, you gave me a link to your recent novel. Being me, I procrastinated in downloading it, and now the link is dead. Where might I find it these days?
