Assassin's Apprentice

Oh my god this book. It was so good. Robin Hobb is a master of my absolute favorite style of character development - showing you highly descriptive encounters, and letting you draw your own conclusions from it. I fell in love with the world in the characters, delighted in hating the bad ones, loving the good ones, and just the world as a whole. Really cannot recommend this book enough, I'm so excited that there's so much more to read.
