The incredibly influential fantasy novel comes to comics in this first installment of best-selling author Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Apprentice!
Praise for Assassin’s Apprentice:
“Hobb is the author whose books Martin described as ‘like diamonds in a sea of zircons,’ the writer to press on those who turn up their noses at fantasy. Her writing is superb, her world-building irresistible, her storylines both hell-for-leather exciting and deeply introspective.”
—The Guardian
“I would highly recommend Assassin’s Apprentice and the Farseer Trilogy.
As you read you become ever more immersed in the story
and it just seems to get better and better.”
—Fantasy Book Review
“An intriguing, controlled, and remarkably assured debut, at once satisfyingly
self-contained yet leaving plenty of scope for future extensions
and embellishments.”
—Kirkus
