Reviews

'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

In todays crowded fantasy market Robin Hobbs books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons
George R.R. Martin

Hobb is superb Conn Iggulden

Hobb is a remarkable storyteller Guardian

This is a historical novel with a sly touch of magic. The first in the Farseer trilogy, this book will get new readers hooked on a series that recalls HBOs Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings Telegraph

When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels.
