Fitz ist ein Bastard, der Sohn eines Prinzen und eines Bauernmädchens. Doch schon in jungen Jahren nimmt ihn der König in seine Dienste. Noch ahnt Fitz nicht, was er für seine Treue aufgeben muss – seine Ehre, seine Liebe, sogar sein Leben! Denn die Intrigen bei Hofe sind mannigfaltig, und Fitz kann seine Augen nicht vor dem drohenden Unheil verschließen, das dem Reich droht. Doch da befiehlt ihm der König, genau das zu tun. Fitz muss sich entscheiden: Wird er gehorchen oder seinem eigenen Gewissen folgen?

Review of "Assassin's Apprentice Assassin's Apprentice" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I was reminded of several other books while I read it, but that's only because the author takes a familiar, timeless tale and makes it her own. This is the story of a young man with a great gift, but deprived of his family, who must now struggle to find his place in the world.
One thing I wished for was greater subtlety in the characters. It was very obvious who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. The pacing could also have been faster, though I kinda liked the leisurely pace at times.
I will certainly be looking into the rest of the Farseer universe.
