Assassin’s Apprentice (1995)
The first book in the Farseer series
Fitz starts life as a royal bastard cast onto the streets, with only animals and street children for company - but soon he will hold the power over life and death in his hands as the Assassin’s apprentice.
It’s not very often that you pick up a book from an ordinary shelf, thinking nothing more than ‘I’m sooo bored, maybe I’ll read this,’ and, within a few pages, discover that you have, in fact, stumbled upon genius in print.
Following the life of a royal bastard, known as Fitz, this trilogy takes you on a journey that spans years, miles, height and depth. Though easily qualified as a work of high fantasy, political intrigue, human personality and realistic motivation keeps the entirity incredibly grounded. You never catch yourself wondering just how realistic it all is- it IS real, that’s a given. But there was one aspect of this story that especially caught me.
For me, characters are the measure of a good story. If you don’t care about them, you don’t care about the book itself. In the case of this trilogy, you find yourself becoming more and more deeply entangled in the thoughts, emotions and personality of the characters until it’s hard to remember who YOU are.
In particular, I think Fitz is one of the most realistically human characters ever to inhabit the written word, and the Fool remains my favourite character of any I’ve ever read about. Such depth and delicacy of portrayal and narration is all too rare.
In other words, read this trilogy. You simply can’t go wrong with a story like this one.
Royal Assassin (1996)
The second book in the Farseer series
The second book in “The Farseer” trilogy. The Six Duchies are once again being raided and plundered by the Red-Ship Raiders with horrible consequences. Then the old King falls dangerously ill - of poison? Fitz finds himself in a curious alliance with the Fool, Burrich, Molly and Patience.
Having read the first in trilogy, “Assassins Apprentice” I approached this with some trepidation, middle books in trilogies usually being somewhat flat, merely building to the climax in the last novel. However, I need not have worried. Throughout the novel is well written in elegant prose, the pace is extremely good. Although it is a much longer book than the first, the length is not superfluous, Robin Hobb was not merely trying to write a long book for the sake of it, but needed to. The snapshot of a corrupt, intrigue entangled court is superb, and trying to sort out this web of betrayal is a major pleasure. The twists and turns are always well done, and contain moments when you knash your teeth in despair and want to scream at the characters. The air of tension in the novel is as good as many a thriller I have read.
Most of all, the characters are compelling, with the strong King-in-Waiting Verity, a good man on the verge of despair, the implacable Burrich and so on. All the characters seem to have layers, few of the major characters - with the possible exception of Prince Regal. Fitz, the central character is in the true mold of a modern Fantasy hero, a normal person forced into high events and is throughout a character it is easy to sympathise with.
Assassin’s Quest (1997)
The third book in the Farseer series
Fitz must begin the process of learning the ways of a man again. He must learn to cast off the wild but carefree ways of the wolf and enter the human world once more: a world beset ever more by the relentless Red Ship Raiders who are now left free to plunder any coastal town they please.
I started Assasins Quest immediatly I had finished Royal Assasin. Odd that a book can give you a strange feeling of excited nervousness whilst you are starting to become entwined with its world, but that is exactly the feeling I got with this book, made possible by Hobb’s powerful explanations and descriptions of the Six Duchies throughout the first two books.
The storyline - one difficult to make feasable - was as expertly carved and detailed as Verity’s Dragon. A special quality was the emotive response associated with each of the lead characters, these have been building up from the begining of the trilogy and finally climax in the middle of the Quest.
Something equally rare in any type of book is the sense of loss experienced with the completion of the Trilogy. It is impossible for me to adequtely describe in words but for a good few days after finishing Assasins Quest, there was something not quite complete about me, an emptiness only quenched by fact that the story continues in Fool’s Errand, offering the chance for another immersion into Hobb’s special world and the possiblity of escaping reality for a while longer.
If you were not sure to continue your journey into the Duchies after the close of the second book, be assured that the conclusion is surly some of the most exciting fantasy writing I have ever had the fortune to read.

Just add to iTunes, right click on the track to open the Get Info window:
> Click the Options menu tab at the top, click the drop-down menu for the Media Kind option and choose “Audiobook” from the list. Click the drop-down menu next to the Remember Position option and choose “Yes” from the list. Click OK to convert.
> Checking your Converted Songs are Now Audiobooks: To check the songs you selected have been automatically redefined as audiobooks, click the Books menu option (in the Library section) in the left pane of iTunes. You should now find that iTunes will remember a song’s playback position if you stop it before it reaches the end.

Ok. Sorry for the “Test” comment there, I just wasn’t sure if the comment feature was working effectively.
Yes! I just wanted to add my voice to the other Commenters who are praising the quality of this download. Excellent audio quality!
Many thanks to the “Seeders” who made the downloading process go so quickly. I stuck around for a day seeding myself, but there were no other takers. I hope to pay it forward in the future. Very impressed that there are still generous souls out there making these files available.
This isn’t my favorite Fantasy series personally. I’m partial to WOT, SOIF, LOTR, SLA. The big, sweeping, absolutely EPIC kind of Fantasy. This is a lower key series. The stakes never feel as high. The characters are not as striking or impressive. The writing is very good, but never feels as gripping as other series, or as melodic as others. It’s quality work, just not top tier in my book.
Still, I’m finding the story worthwhile.
Fair winds and Smooth roads to my fellow travelers on the journey.
