Commentary Toward Books The Farseer Trilogy (The Farseer Trilogy #1-3)
This bundle includes Assassin’s Apprentice (book one), Royal Assassin (book two) and Assassin’s Quest (book three). 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… Enter the extraordinary world of Robin Hobb’s magnificent Farseer Trilogy.Rating About Books The Farseer Trilogy (The Farseer Trilogy #1-3)

From the time I let a 6-year-old Fitz into my heart, I have been in love with this story. There was something about the birth of the young character of Fitz that has taken up residence in my heart and it feels as if we are 'bonded'.This is a wonderful tale, but one that has taken a toll on my emotions. I think I have felt just about all of Fitz's pains and heartbreaks myself. The ending has left me a little bereft. While it was a good ending, I long for so much more for the character of Fitz.AllWow I an twenty years late to this party I really enjoyed this trilogy. Fitz sometimes frustrated me since I am almost 67 but his teenaged angst was justified. Burrich was great.
All finished and what a ride. I didn't expect to love these books so much.I expected more typical fantasy and I got very little of that until the ending of the third book, which I swear was written in the 70s (in a good way) and sent forward in time. Other than a few types of "magic" that come into play every chapter or so, plus a dragon and some mindless not-undead people, it's very low fantasy. Think GRRM.The characters are all unique and feel real, with the exception of the main villain, who
A book series that his very dear to my heart. To be honest, this is both my most favorite author and best story of all time. I have read over 500 of books in my life and I don't know what it is with this series, but I simply love it. I love many other things, I love Paul Auster for the quality of his writing, Steinbeck for how vivid things comes to life in his books, Finder for the originality and the twist of his thrillers but there is something with Robin Hobb that I can't describe properly
The Farseer Trilogy wasn't what I expected, and that's absolutely wonderful, because I expected something cliche.The Farseer Trilogy stars Fitzchivalry, who at first seems to be a cardboard cutout of so many of the "poor farmer boys" from epic fantasy. But the drama, action and pain that he experiences through these three books is anything but typical. The Farseer Trilogy is the story of the red ship raiders that ravage Buck's coastline, using dark magic to turn those that survive their
At first, I didn't know if I was going to love or hate this trilogy. The premise was definitely intriguing but I was initially annoyed at how the story wasn't going where I was expecting it to go. Fitz was supposed to be a gifted orphan boy who becomes a deadly assassin, dammit! How come he keeps failing at every turn! That's not the way fantasy stories are supposed to be written! The main character's supposed to be a hero with a few flaws like hubris or impulsiveness. He's not supposed to be
