Assassin's Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

I‘m going to be participating in the #realmofelderlings readalong hosted by PuddleJumper. I just finished a book club book I was reading and now, I‘m ready to start this book next. I won‘t finish it this month but I want to at least start it. This kinda sounds like A Song Of Ice And Fire because ASOIAF has a bastard named Jon Snow and this series has a bastard named Fitz and both series have kingdoms and knights and things like that.

kelli7990 I‘ve read A Song Of Ice And Fire and I really liked it so it pissed me off when it ended on a cliffhanger and I‘ve accepted that it might not get finished but I‘m curious to see if I‘ll like this series better than that one. This is my first time reading the series so I‘ll just have to see what I think. I‘ve heard good things about it. (edited) 14h

Here‘s my picks for #bookspinbingo. #4 is my #bookspin pick and #10 is my #doublespin pick. My #bookspin pick is going to be Assassin‘s Apprentice by Robin Hobb for the #realmofelderlings readalong. I don‘t think I‘ll finish it this month because the audiobook is 17 hrs but I want to at least start it. My #doublespin will be a series I‘m finishing on my Kindle but I will be able to finish the series that I picked.

Assassin's Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

I‘m joining the #realmofelderlings readalong this month. We‘re reading Assassin‘s Apprentice. I‘m interested to see what I think about this series. I‘ve never read Robin Hobb. I‘ve heard of this series because Becca And The Books on YouTube has talked about the series on her channel and her book club The Catchup Book Club read the series but I didn‘t read it when they were reading it because I wasn‘t ready to commit to it yet.

kelli7990 I don‘t know anything about this series or what to expect. I don‘t know if it‘s anything like A Song Of Ice And Fire or if it‘s different. I still feel intimidated by it because there‘s so many books but I‘m glad that I‘m reading it with a group and not by myself. I don‘t know how long it‘ll take for me to read this book. The audiobook for this book is 17 hours so I might not finish this book this month. (edited) 4d

shanaqui Oh, it's been soooo long since I read this. I remember adoring the series, but I wonder if it can match up to the memory at this point. 😆 3d

DogMomIrene Robin Hobb has been a to read author for me for a long time. I‘m tackling Brandon Sanderson in a #CosmereBuddyRead so I know I can‘t handle another epic fantasy series right now. But going to look forward to hearing how you like Hobb and maybe there‘s a round 2 of folks who want to read her next year. Soooo many books, right? 3d

Enchanted_Bibliophile So excited 🤩 1w

Luke-XVX Thanks for doing this! I first read this trilogy over the pandemic recovering from having my appendix out. Read 50 pages, fall asleep as nauseam as I sat on the sofa haha 1w

PuddleJumper @Enchanted_Bibliophile Same! I'm trying to finish my books off so I can start immediately 😅 1w

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX Not the easiest books to read when recovering! 1w

Larkken Looking forward to this! I‘ve been loving the scifi book club here on Litsy and am excited to do a fantasy one, and one with a series at that! 1w

willaful oh, but there's a paperback available now. Ugh, my eyes! 😂 1w

PuddleJumper @willaful That's a long wait! Wonder why it's so popular all of a sudden 1w

kelli7990 Yay! I‘m looking forward to reading this. I haven‘t started reading it yet but it‘s going to be the next book I start. I won‘t finish it this month but I want to at least start it. 14h

PuddleJumper @kelli7990 Read at your own pace. Everything on SG will remain up so you should still be and to join in discussions, comments etc if you want to. I'm very slowly reading it. I haven't had a chance to sit down for more than 10 minutes at a time! 😅 10h

Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1) | Robin Hobb

Getting ready for #RealmofElderlings by finding my copies

The grey one is my original book from when I was a teenager. It is so tiny, the font is tiny and I squint when I look at it

The other copy is my nice copy and I don't want to ruin it ... By reading it? 🤣

TrishB I think I have 5 copies of this 😁 2w

PuddleJumper @TrishB 🤣 2w

Larkken Oh yeah... Time to rummage! (edited) 2w

Ship of Destiny | Robin Hobb

pick

The magic in this trilogy is god tier. The story is fast-paced & the multiple POVs are used skillfully to keep the pace quick and build the world. The political turmoil makes me wonder if the author is clairvoyant. Also, there are the coolest fucking dragons ever written. I could go on and on. Read this trilogy.

JamieArc Which is the first? I‘ve wanted to read a Robin Hobb book for a while but was intimidated, not knowing where to start. 2w

Rachel.Rencher @JamieArc I started with Ship of Magic which is book 1 in the Liveship Trader trilogy, but I found out later it was book 4 in the Realm of the Elderlings universe. The trilogy I read is a standalone in the same universe, so I didn't miss out on anything by starting here. If you want to start at the VERY beginning though, go with Assassin's Apprentice which is book 1 of the Farseer trilogy. 🥰 2w

PuddleJumper @JamieArc I'm running a readalong/book club where we read all of the books. We're starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February though you can jump in whenever. Everything is under the #RealofElderlings tag 2w

Mad Ship | Robin Hobb

One of the things that I love most about this book is the naming of the characters. There are names suited very well to the fantasy genre like Althea, Keffria, Malta, Grag, Wintrow, and Brashen to name a few. Then there's Kyle. And yes, Kyle sucks as a person. He's the absolute worst. His name stands out among the rest like a sore thumb and I think it's by design maybe? Idk, but I think it's hilarious.

Repost for @PuddleJumper

This is the first planned reading schedule for #RealmofElderlings

I‘m giving 2 months for books over 500 pages which is pretty much all of them! This means it will take about 2 years to get through the entire series.

We'll be starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February, there will be a buddy read and readalong on SG and I'll post start, mid, end posts on Litsy
