Royal Assassin

The Farseer Trilogy, Book 2

De: Robin Hobb

Narrado por: Paul Boehmer

Young Fitz, the illegitimate son of the noble Prince Chivalry, is ignored by all royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has had him tutored him in the dark arts of the assassin. He has barely survived his first, soul-shattering mission, and when he returns to the court, he is thrown headfirst into the tumult of royal life.

With the king near death, and Fitz's only ally off on a seemingly hopeless quest, the throne itself is threatened.

Meanwhile, the treacherous Red Ship Raiders have renewed their attacks on the Six Duchies, slaughtering the inhabitants of entire seaside towns. In this time of great peril, it soon becomes clear that the fate of the kingdom may rest in Fitz's hands - and his role in its salvation may require the ultimate sacrifice.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Hobb manages to create a kingdom that looks like a fairy tale but feels like the real world---which makes it almost impossible not to become immersed in Hobb's fantasy epic.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Great book bad narrator

Great book, faux English accent the reader uses sucks. But it’s not a deal breaker

The Lone Wolf

If you could sum up Royal Assassin in three words, what would they be?

Finding Fitz skills!!

When it all clicked, Fitz opened up to the skill. And he bonds with the wolf he accepts the wit.He becomes a man a"prince"

Any additional comments?

Can't wait to finish the third book,I've been surprised by this trilogy it's really good!! And different from the other books,it's not just the same old magical fantasy book. Try it!!

What a fabulous story!

This story is well written and thoughtfully crafted. The characters stand out holding mystery, and intention within their structure. It was a ride that I trusted to take me beyond my limits.
The Catalyst and the Prophet. Love declared and love love lost. Such and adventure in time and in spells is well worth the investment of my precious time.

The narration is supple and spins this dream effortlessly.

It is perfect.

I am sorry Audible does not have the next sequel at this time..

Wonderful!

This is an absolutely wonderful series and I would recommend it to everyone no matter your favorite genre!

fantastical

it's a long listen but if you're patient it's worth every moment.

Fitz is the embodiment of all our desires, that no matter how alone we will ever be their is a significant balance we may strike by being true to ourselves and our word...at least as much as we can be.
