Having finished the “Game of Thrones” series of books, several people recommended Robin Hobb‘s Farseer Trilogy as a follow-up.

The Farseer Trilogy follows the life of FitzChivalry Farseer (Fitz), a trained assassin, in a kingdom called The Six Duchies while his uncle, Prince Verity, attempts to wage war on the Red-Ship Raiders from The OutIslands who are attacking the shores of the kingdom by turning the people of the Six Duchies into Forged ones; still alive, but without any emotion or soul.

I downloaded book 1 Assassin’s Apprentice.

It’s good. Subtle. Slow moving compared with Game of Thrones, however. I recommend it.

On the other hand, I didn’t enjoy the book enough to continue on to book 2.

Leave a comment if I’m wrong on that.
