From Publishers Weekly

The bastard sons of kings play a noble role in fantasy: not only were King Arthur and Modred by-blows, but it is often suggested that Merlin himself came to power from the "wrong side of the bed." While Hobb's offering has a few too many illegitimate heirs backstabbing around, this is still a delightful take on the powers and politics behind the throne. Fitz, who is often called the "Boy" or the "Bastard," was begotten by good Prince Chivalry upon some "peasant" woman. At age six, he is given over to the safekeeping of the prince's man, Burrich. Fitz's impolitic existence causes the prince to abdicate his claim to the throne, and he and his wife leave the court, and the boy, behind. Fitz has inherited the "Skill," a mind-bending talent, and also has the ability to meld his thoughts with those of nonhuman creatures and to mentally "repel" physical advances. When Fitz finally comes to King Shrewd's attention, he is given over to the Royal Assassin's tutelage and trained to carry out the king's devious plans. The novel's conceit-that it offers Fitz's memoirs from childhood through adolescence-allows for several sequels. A gleaming debut in the crowded field of epic fantasies and Arthurian romances.

From Library Journal

As a royal bastard in the household of King Shrewd, a boy called "Fitz" spends his early years in the king's stables. When the magic in his blood marks him for destiny, he begins receiving secret instruction, by order of the king, in the art of assassination, a calling that places him in the midst of a nest of intrigue and arcane maneuverings. Firmly grounded in the trappings of high fantasy, Hobb's first novel features a protagonist whose coming of age revolves around the discovery of the meaning of loyalty and trust. This gracefully written fantasy belongs in most libraries.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Rare Gem, Nov. 8 2008
Par J. Allen (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
There are some books that are so head and shoulders above almost everything else out there that they can only instill awe. The Fitz trilogies are one of these rare gems. I would gladly have had millions of average and sub-par novels never been written to see just one more trilogy of this quality.

The character depth and realism, and the way the plot points are tied together, it makes it a joy to read over again. It's a world brought to life in a way that you could easily imagine living in it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Gotta read this!!,, Fév 11 2006
Engrossing, hard to put down, that's what Assassin's Apprentice is. Picked it up on Friday and finished it Sunday night. didn't get much done but what a 'vacation' I had (so to speak) I was so entranced by the plot and the interaction of the characters, I think that's what sold me the most. I'd also suggest The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt, though it's not nearly the caliber of this one.
Like I said, you've 'gotta read this!!"

5.0étoiles sur 5 Pass the Duchies, Juil 18 2004
Par Brian Niehaus (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Plot Summary: A young bastard is brought to the palace of the King. It turns out Fitz is the son of Prince Chivalry who proceeds to abdicate his position as king-in-waiting. The story follows the coming of age of Fitz from a boy of six left on the King's doorstep to a young man of indeterminant age (16-18ish) suffering through the teachings expected of boys of royal blood, plus the hardships associated with not being a pure royal and facing the threat he is to the other royal heirs. He is made into a tool for the king, as Assassin, and is sent on his first real assignment, alone, to conclude this book. How Fitz deals with this assignment holds the key to his character. He quite possibly could save or destroy one or more kingdoms by his actions.

Opinion: Wonderful. Not overly complex with tens of plotlines threading through the story, just the relatively straightforward story of one boy's life. There are some pleasures and many hardships, and I felt with Fitz every step of the way. The situations and the characters of this book are very believable and brought to life on the page. There is not much in the way of warlike action, just a few scuffles with some Forged outlaws, but there is intrigue and action going on at all times as Fitz takes various amount of training in fields such as herb lore, killing, writing, fighting, animal care, etc. The naming conventions of the Six Duchies (of the main royal characters actually: Prince Regal, King Shrewd, Prince Chivalry, and Lady Patience, just to name a few) was a bit contrived and I thought it would make me not like the story. I was wrong, the story overcomes this thing that annoyed me for the first half of the book. By the second half, it was totally forgotten.

Recommendation: Reat it. 5 out of 5 stars for a good opening novel. I look forward to the other 2 in the Farseer trilogy and possibly Hobb's other 2 trilogies set in the world of the Six Duchies.
