• The Farseer Trilogy:
  • Assassin’s Apprentice
  • Royal Assassin
  • Assassin’s Quest
• One from the SFF100 list
• Tore through the first (Assassin’s Apprentice). Love the details, love the setting, love the conflict within characters.
• Enjoyed this one so much I immediately read the next two in the trilogy. Satisfying.

It was possible to be homesick for a time, and to be lonely for the only other person who could recall it.
