O jovem Fitz é filho bastardo do nobre Príncipe Cavalaria e cresce na corte do rei Sagaz. Marginalizado por todos, o rapaz refugia-se nos estábulos reais, mas cedo o seu sangue revela o Talento mágico e, por ordens do rei, é secretamente iniciado nas temidas artes do assassino. Quando salteadores bárbaros atacam as costas, Fitz enfrenta a sua primeira e perigosa missão que o lançará num ninho de intrigas. E embora alguns o encarem como uma ameaça ao trono, talvez ele seja a chave para a sobrevivência do reino.com uma narrativa povoada de encantamentos, heroísmo e desonra, paixão e aventura, o Aprendiz de Assassino inicia uma das séries mais bem amadas da fantasia épica.

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.
