Finally accepting that Hobb is not an author for me. Two attempts at this and DNF at halfway point.
This one's over 20 years old, but I finally decided to give this one a go. The story of a young royal bastard who eventually is groomed into becoming an assassin for King Shrewd, his grandfather. Pretty quickly, I discovered that Robin Hobb is an eloquent writer and she takes her time with the story. The characters are interesting which is good because there's not a lot of action per se. In fact, of the assassin's arts, young Fitz, our hero, mainly focuses on poisoning. So this sword-and-sorcery book has almost non-existent “sword.” Still, it was captivating enough to read it all the way through. Don't think I'll continue, though.
Another one that it's been awhile since I've read it. The story kind of lags after the second half of the last book and the ending wasn't very satisfying, but overall worth reading.
Muy buen libro, 5 estrellitas. Si bien es muy introductorio y a pesar de que sea corto, te atrapa de una manera impresionante. Si hay que destacar algo, es el desarrollo de los personajes , que es una delicia .
