Farseer

[Japher]

Thanks to someone somewhere I started reading Assassins Apprentice yesterday and am now halfway done with it. Not only is the book a page-turner, but I found myself reflecting on many of the situations that Fitz experiences as well as many phrases put there by the author. It is excellently written, to say the least, and am enjoying it immensely. So, whoever told me to read it, thanks.

Even though it's corny, I like how the royalty tie themselves to a name that describes how they are, a specific attribute, or what they do. Prince Chivalry is chivalrous, King Shrewd is shrewd, Princesses Patience can't have kids, etc... It is as though they can't escape their namesake. If you had such a name, what would like to be named?

Why can't Princess Patience have kids? Patience is THE virtue to have if you would have kids.

maybe she will, I don't know, I'm only in the first book...

I started reading Assassin's Apprentice and never could get into it. I put it down after about 100 pages and haven't had a chance to get back to it.

Excellent series...the middle trilogy is the weakest, but it's still better than most others I've read lately.

I like the writing, many of them fantasy writers I can't read, like Goodkind. It did take me a while to get into the style though, and I can see how someone would have problems with it like Boris did. No biggy, a lot of ppl like authors I loathe.
