En vän har i flera år rekommenderat författaren Robin Hobb och hennes fantasyböcker.
Nu har jag äntligen lånat
Assassin's Apprentice som är bok 1 i
The Farseer Triology på bibblan. Redan på första sidan känner jag att det var ett bra val (speciellt för en namnnörd som jag själv). Här kommer ett kort utdrag:
And of the first real king, little more than his name and some extravagant legends remain. Taker his name was, quite simply, and perhaps with that naming began the tradition that daughters and sons of his lineage would be given names that would shape their lives and beings. Folk belief claim that such names were sealed to the newborn babes by magic, and that these royal offspring were incapable of betraying the virtues whose name they bore. (Harper/Voyager/Robin Hobb/ Assassin's Apprentice, s. 1)
