Robin Hobb's The Assassin's Apprentice
Well, I wanted more fantasy series to read, and it turns out Robin Hobb is a woman, and this series has like 16 books and thousands of pages, so let’s go! In this first one, a little boy, the bastard son of the king's heir, is growing up, mainly raised by his father's stablemaster, and then apprenticed to the king's assassin (as the title indicates). Also he can psychically talk to animals!! I really liked this, though there are some rough and heartbreaking parts. Great narrative voice, and kept me interested (I woke up this morning like “I gotta get back to reading to find out what happens to Verity!”). I’m looking forward to reading more! A/A-.
