Finished the Farseer Trilogy recently. The writing is very well done and will suck you into the world, the first book felt very much like reading Harry Potter as it was a coming of age of sorts of the royal bastard Fitz-Chivalry. I've heard it mentioned that this was somewhat of a basis for Song of Ice & Fire and I can definately see obvious similarties but other than that SOIAF is in a different galaxy from this. There is a caveat to reading this though, the journey is wonderful, but the ending is somewhat of a letdown. While I don't regret reading it, if I had known beforehand what awaits after 3 long books, and these books are long..3rd book was over 1300-1400 pages or so; I would probably skip it. This was in the Good Reads website's top 5 for SF/Assasin books and thats why I chose it in the first place.
The Way of Shadows, I stoped at around 5-6 chapters in. This was a top 5 recommende SF/Assasin book and I don't know how that could be. The writing was horrible. The story jumped around like crazy between paragraphs, after reading The Farseer Trilogy, this is like ugh. The story itself is pretty generic and the whole mish mash fusion of cultures to create this fantasy world just felt silly, characters named "Tofusin" don't really help much either.
This book series was kind of like reading an summer action film, it was never boring. The book somewhat rips off SOIAF, you've got towns named "Riverrun" and the so called faceless assasins. I laughed a bit at that only for it to be confirmed in the arthur's comments at the end of the book. This book isn't about the girl on the cover btw, she is one of the faceless assasins, it's more or less about the son of the leader of thief guild that is legendary among thieves. It's a bit like an R.A. Salvatore novel, a decent read.
Gauntlgrymm, The first book in the Neverwinter trilogy and also a sort of end and a begining. This is a book in a long line of books before it so I wouldn't start with it but definately a must read if you are a fan and already reading Drizzt books.
Currently reading book 1 of the Erevis Cale Trilogy.
