「基本上，就是謀殺。殺人。外交策略性刺殺的精妙藝術。或者是把人弄瞎、弄聾，或者是讓人四肢軟弱無力、或麻痺、或咳嗽咳得虛弱、或陽痿、或提早老化癡呆、或發瘋、或……不過這不重要。這些都是我的本行，而且也會變成你的本行，如果你同意的話。但是你從一開始就要知道，我是要教你殺人。為你的國王殺人。不是用浩得教你的那種花俏方式殺，不是在有人看得到你、替你喝采的戰場上殺。不是。我是要教你陰狠、隱密、有禮的殺人方式。你要不就是會喜歡上它，要不就是不會喜歡上它，這不是我能管得了的。但我會確保你學會怎麼做。我也會確保另一件事，這是我給黠謀國王訂下的規定，就是讓你知道你學的是什麼，不像我，在你這個歲數的時候完全不知道自己學的是什麼。所以，我是要教你成為刺客。這樣可以嗎，小孩？」
羅蘋‧荷布（Robin Hobb）這樣一個聽起來有點男性化的名字，卻是屬於一名女性奇幻小說作家的。在男性主導的奇幻寫作界，羅蘋‧荷布成功的走出自己的一條道路，她所擅長的是描述傳統作品所未曾接觸的領域。刺客系列的作品描述的是其它奇幻小說極少碰觸的陰暗面：殺手生涯。過去曾經有過相同嘗試的作品不是太過隱諱，就是深藏在血腥之中，掩蓋了原該有的劇情光采，但她的作品擁有一種截然不同的特殊風格。

It was so good. It was my first Robin Hobb book and I wanted to enter her universe. I can say that I'm glad I did! This book was everything I didn't know I needed and I believe it's the introduction to the rest of the trilogy but also the rest of the universe and that it's only going to get better and better.
What I can say about the book is that it was pretty fucking good. There's no other words to describe it, except that it was really good, it did take its time to put things into motion but still it did this in a perfectly right timing that I didn't really mind. I never felt bored when I read the book but I can say I did feel quite a lot of emotions. I felt pride, I felt anger, I felt sorrow and I can't wait to see what the others are going to make me feel.
Concerning the characters : I really f****** loved Fitz. That's my son, my precious son and I don't know if he's going to be in the next books though seeing that it's the farseer trilogy and he is Fitz chivalry Farseer, I hope he is going to be there. But also I really loved Burrich, he literally was like the father that stepped up tbh and also Chade and the Fool.
For Chade I do like the approach he has with Fitz and I hope we're going to see more of him in the next book because I really like his relationship with Fitz. I hope that his Assassin's skills will grow and he gets better at it and I hope he does learn to Skill with Verity , well whenever he has a time and he's not like, you know, trying to man a war.
About the Fool: I love him.. them? I NEED more of them in the book. Like if only we could het his pov or anything really, il begging for Fool's crumbs at this point.
Anyways, can't wait for the next book
O início do livro foi um pouco lento para mim, então demorei um pouco para me envolver com a história. A narrativa em primeira pessoa também não ajudou muito, já que tudo é contado a partir da perspectiva do protagonista, o que acaba limitando um pouco a visão dos acontecimentos e dos personagens.Da metade para o final, porém, a história realmente engrena. Os mistérios envolvendo os Forjados, as intrigas políticas e os segredos do reino deixaram a leitura muito mais envolvente. Também fiquei bastante curiosa para descobrir quem é o Bobo e qual o significado das mensagens enigmáticas que ele transmite.
