The much-anticipated final conclusion to the Fitz and The Fool trilogy.

Prince FitzChivalry Farseer’s daughter Bee was violently abducted from Withywoods by Servants of the Four in their search for the Unexpected Son, foretold to wield great power. With Fitz in pursuit, the Servants fled through a Skill-pillar, leaving no trace. It seems certain that they and their young hostage have perished in the Skill-river.

Clerres, where White Prophets were trained by the Servants to set the world on a better path, has been corrupted by greed. Fitz is determined to reach the city and take vengeance on the Four, not only for the loss of Bee but also for their torture of the Fool. Accompanied by FitzVigilant, son of the assassin Chade, Chade’s protégé Spark and the stableboy Perseverance, Bee's only friend, their journey will take them from the Elderling city of Kelsingra, down the perilous Rain Wild River, and on to the Pirate Isles.

Their mission for revenge will become a voyage of discovery, as well as of reunions, transformations and heartrending shocks. Startling answers to old mysteries are revealed. What became of the liveships Paragon and Vivacia and their crews? What is the origin of the Others and their eerie beach? How are liveships and dragons connected?

But Fitz and his followers are not the only ones with a deadly grudge against the Four. An ancient wrong will bring them unlikely and dangerous allies in their quest. And if the corrupt society of Clerres is to be brought down, Fitz and the Fool will have to make a series of profound and fateful sacrifices.

ASSASSIN’S FATE is a magnificent tour de force and with it Robin Hobb demonstrates yet again that she is the reigning queen of epic fantasy.

Eleştirmen yorumları

‘Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons’ George R.R. Martin

'Hobb is superb, spinning wonderful characters and plots from pure imagination' Conn Iggulden

‘Robin Hobb’s secret is not just the detail with which she depicts the Six Duchies world she has explored over 20 years . . . the feelings of anguish, ambiguity, fear and failure are as familiar as those in a novel by Jonathan Franzen’ Independent

‘A little slice of heaven’ Guardian

'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers… what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics' The Times

How could the performance have been better?

I have waited so long for this, desperate to know what happens to Bee and Fitz.
but having a different male narrator is so distracting. I can't get passed it at all.
It has really ruined the continuation of the trilogy to the point where I can't listen to it any longer.
I am going to have to get the book on kindle and read it for myself.
I don't think the narrator is "bad", he just isn't the right person. some of the voices he does for the characters are so different from the previous narrators voices that it makes the characters seem like entirely different people.
I am really dissapointed that audible didn't get the same male narrator for this reading.

Any additional comments?

I love Robin Hobb, I am sure that this story will have a thrilling and exciting conclusion, with much drama in between, but for now I have to stop listening because the new male narrator is ruining it for me.

Not having the same male narrator is SO jarring.

This is the strongest part of the final trilogy and it's utterly brilliant.

I have to say I think David Thorpe does a brilliant job of the new Fitz narration - by the end of the book I think he steals the show. It was irritating at first but once you adjust then he just drew me in. The emotion he conveys in the final part with Fitz/Nighteyes/Fool combo was just so totally convincing it added another level to the power of an audiobook. That's my view anyway.

But it's Robin's writing that wins. By the end I had tears in my eyes as she managed to conclude the Fitz/Fool saga so brilliantly- perhaps the best on any saga. By that I mean I was totally satisfied and felt fulfilled by the time the ending came.

Make sure you read all the Fitz trilogies before this though otherwise it's just won't have the same impact.

Brilliant, just brilliant.

Having been fully swept away by the other two Farseer trilogies, there was no way I wasn't going to listen to this one too. This one is not bad but I found myself oddly unsatisfied by the end of this one. The whole book is somehow both stressful and distressing while also drawn-out and nor as fast paced as previous trilogies. It felt like lots and lots of misery without the moments of joy and interest and heartfelt meaningfulness that punctuate the other ones. I feel like this one perhaps did not get the editing that the others did, because they knew people would read it anyway. Also the other trilogies were built on political intrigue and gripping interpersonal dynamics, whereas this one is more of a straight-up quest to get the bad guys. Characters are flatter than in previous books. Rather than including antagonists who have at least some motivation that you can sympathise with on some level, this one is populated by people who are generally less interesting and less likeable than in previous ones.

And yet! It's not all bad and I still got something out of this one. Bee's character development goes a bit further, although I didn't find her very likeable by the later parts. The ending made sense even though it was somehow drawn out and then didn't have enough 'dust-settling' afterwards, for me. Avita Jay is good, although her intonation is a bit repetitive. I was glad they replaced the male narrator who was in the first two of this trilogy. The guy reading this one is good, but I would still have preferred one of the Farseer or Tawny Man narrators.

Overall I can't work out if I only enjoyed parts of this because of being invested in the characters from previous books, or on the other hand, whether I was dissatisfied because I'm comparing this trilogy with previous ones!

Somehow less moving than other Farseer trilogies

A great listen, despite yet another break in pronunciation continuity (the main aggravation being "Liv Ships" rather than "(a)Live Ships"(ommit the a)). But having got this far with the Robin Hobb audio books it's not the first, or even the second, time that this has happened by any means. I'd love another to be honest, perhaps exploring the original fall of the Elderlings. I'd highly recommend this book, it's a brilliant conclusion to the many farseer and liveship novels.

Fantastic and complete ending

If you've read any of the Fitz and Fool story, you will know it is an emotional journey that grips you from start to finish. It could not have concluded in a better way - recommended read for anyone that enjoys fantasy novels.

Simply perfect
