Sinossi
Un'umanità di servi e signori abita un mondo pervaso da una magia sottile e inquietante, fra intrighi di corte e minacce di misteriosi pirati in grado di manipolare le loro vittime privandole di ogni forma di raziocinio e sentimento. Tra questi pericoli si aggira il giovane Fitz, un "bastardo" di stirpe reale, la cui sola consolazione è un magico e tenero legame con gli animali. Accolto a corte, Fitz dovrà apprendere l'uso delle armi e le regole dell'etichetta, ma il suo destino è legato all'abilità di uccidere nell'ombra... Diventare un assassino vuol dire intraprendere un mestiere crudele e solitario, e soprattutto scoprire i propri poteri, lascito del sangue dei Lungavista... Sospeso nella magia del mito e del romanzo cavalleresco, "L'apprendista assassino" racconta un universo drammatico in cui la lotta fra il Bene e il Male non è mai una guerra tra opposti inconciliabili, ma uno scontro umano tra fato e necessità, tra libero arbitrio e destino, con personaggi la cui esistenza è sempre, inevitabilmente, imprevedibile.

(3.5) I finally got around to reading this popular Fantasy series that has been on my TBR for literally forever... and I'm pretty underwhelmed. I liked Hobb's writing, I enjoyed the world and magic system but this has to be the most chill, less action-driven book about an assassin's education ever. Th Leggi tutto
My journey into The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb has finally begun and it’s off to a great start. You can skip the next paragraph if you want to go straight to the review, this is just a long introduction that I need to make before writing my review. It’s not an overstatement to say that The Leggi tutto

Maybe just the wrong time to read this? A six-year old boy is dropped off on the doorstep to the royal family. He is the illegitimate son of a prince. He has no name. What is to become of this boy? Who will he turn into? What is in a name? The beginning of The Assassin’s Apprentice immediately had me Leggi tutto

”Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too.” So this was my first Robin Hobb and I’m positively surprised! =) I mean after reading all those raving reviews I already expected that “Assassin’s Apprentice” would be a good book, I definitely wasn’t prepared for the train of fe Leggi tutto
