Summary: Better than the first!
Comment: This was the first time that I had read a book by a female author being the prejudice male that I am. For a debut trilogy in my favorite genre you have to blow my socks off, and she has. Assassin's Apprentice was great and introduced loveable characters that I could care for and follow their misadventures with an open heart. Royal Assassin was not only bigger but better. I thought that Regal would have taken a back seat to the Red Ship Raiders, I was wrong there. I thought that Molly would eventually wed Fitz, I was wrong again. So much has happened with Fitz over the cource of a few books that I thought I wouldn't be able to put the book down for fear of missing something. I finished the last half of the book just a few days ago and felt completely emmersed in the Six Duchees. I couldn't turn on the television afterwards without thinking of what is going to happen to in Assassin's Quest. Robin Hobb is totally different from conventional authors like Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind in that she has a way of keeping you alert on every page without having to spread the good stuff thinly over 1000 pages. The Farseer trilogy will sit on my 'favorite books' shelf for years to come...and I'm not even done with the story yet.

Summary: Right in the Middle
Comment: Robin Hobb knows how to write a good tragic fantasy novel. With Fitz right in the middle of a controversy to take over the Kingdom and while the King lies dieing in bed. The young Fitz must make the decision to save his beloved Buck from forces in the inside and those from the outside that wish to destroy it.

Summary: Up there with the best of fantasy
Comment: To be honest, I can't remember where this book started or stopped. The series is so good throughout the three books I basically read it from beginning to end as one story. It's not very often an author can keep readers totally engaged for that long.
Fitz matures but keeps learning lessons the hard way. We get to know his mentors better and see the story develope more. But you'd have to be crazy to stop all the way to the finish line. Hobb doesn't let up with gritty action sequences, surprises and the story's momentum.
Hobb is now my third favorite fantasy author behind Tolkein and George RR Martin. If you like the latter, I think you'll love this series - and you can finish while you wait for Martin's fourth book to get published!
