FANTASY
Farseer Trilogy
By Robin Hobb
3 total booksCOMPLETE
Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy follows FitzChivalry Farseer from unwanted royal bastard to apprentice assassin, court pawn, and reluctant defender of the Six Duchies. It is slower, more character-driven fantasy: court intrigue, loyalty, trauma, magic, and the long cost of service rather than a clean heroic power fantasy.
SHARED UNIVERSE
The Farseer Trilogy is the first Fitz sequence in Robin Hobb's larger Realm of the Elderlings universe. Read this trilogy first before moving into Liveship Traders, Tawny Man, Rain Wild Chronicles, and Fitz and the Fool.
READING ORDER
Start with Assassin's Apprentice and read the trilogy straight through: Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, then Assassin's Quest. This is also the best entry point into Robin Hobb's larger Realm of the Elderlings universe.
