About the author
Robin Hobb
318 books112k followers** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

Finally we get to see the beginning of his actual training!
I'm gonna be honest - even though it's in the title, I was so bored with the novel that I forgot that he actually apprentices to be an assassin XD So it was good to see it happen in this issue!
The artwork is so gloomy that I'd really like it to branch out from brown for once. Chade is one ugly dude, I have to say.
It's nice to see Fitz growing and to hear him finally talking a bit, but the story is kinda dull. It's travelling faster in comic form, but all the setup is just kinda dull.
So I guess, to summarise, it's still a bit slow for my liking. It would great if something interesting happened soon.

Things are really picking up for Fitz. This is when the original novel starts to get really interesting, too. I'm remembering how much I love Chade and this developing story!
