Rate this book
Assassin's Apprentice starts its second installment here! Spring comes to the Six Duchies, and with it, the fearsome menace of the Red- Ship Raiders. As the danger creeps ever closer to Buckkeep, Fitz is given his first true mission from Chade, to infiltrate the estate of a nobleman and look for any signs of treason. But an assassin's job is far from simple, and the fate of the realm may depend on if Fitz can take a life, or spare one instead.

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

It's the Realm of the Elderlings. I'm going to love it. Everything is done so well, and since it's a comic, we don't get the slow pacing that made The Assassin's Apprentice my least favorite book of all Fitz books. We just get to focus on character development and action, which makes it even better!
