Praise for Robin Hobb's Mad Ship:
"A major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkein
and Patrick O'Brian."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review
Ship of Magic:
"Promises to be a truly extraordinary saga.... The
characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates
everything with love for and knowledge of the sea. If Patrick
O'Brian were to turn to writing high fantasy, he might produce
something like this. Kudos to the author, and encore!"
--Booklist
Assassin's Apprentice:
"A gleaming debut."
--Publishers Weekly
"This is the kind of book you fall into, and start reading slower
as you get to the end, because you don't want it to be over."
--Steven Brust
Royal Assassin:
"Hobb continues to revitalize a genre that often seems all too
generic, making it new in ways that range from the subtle to the
shocking. And beneath all, that wise, deeply involved,
humanity."
--Locus
Assassin's Quest:
"An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an
exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure,
character, and drama."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This is fantasy as it ought to be written. In today's crowded
fantasy market, Robin Hobb's books are diamonds in a sea of
zircons."
--George R. R. Martin
