Kelly River is an author who dwells on the edge of the English countryside, forever losing themselves in rambling trails both fictional and material. An avid fan of reading, walking, games, and green teas, you might find them fondling a sheaf of freshly-picked grain or gazing at the canopy of trees beyond the garden fence while they write.

I don't tend to listen to music very often when I write, but when I do it's usually instrumental mood pieces that match the tone of the scene I'm working on. I've definitely played Michael Kamen soundtracks a few times when I need a real swell of emotion!(less)

Assassin’s Quest Review

To hunt that one is as wise as to go hunting a porcupine.”

I cannot leave this alone, Nighteyes.”

I understand. I am the same about porcupines.”

While the first two novels in Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy were slow-burn character dramas wrapped in politics, Assassin’s Quest is exactly as the title implies; this is the story of a man on a journey.
