Fool’s Assassin


Fool’s Assassin by Robin Hobb, 667 pages

“FitzChivalry--royal bastard and former king's assassin--has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire.  Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz's past . . . and his future.  Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one. . . .”  This is an amazing start to this series.  I love all of Hobb’s books and this is no exception.  I can’t wait to start on the next book, especially since this one ended on a cliffhanger.  Anyone who enjoys fantasy needs to read these books.
