Your reading WILL go do at this rate... I ...Yikes ! Your reading WILL go do at this rate... I owe you an apology - <I>Royal Assassin</I> is the second book - it's <I>Assassin's Apprentice</I> that was the first. (*bangs head on wall, "Bad Sass"*)<BR/><BR/>Funnily enough I'm re-reading F&H again - last night I was too tired to start a new book as complicated as <I>Vellum</I> is reputed to be (at least according to the review I read). Looking forward to the F&H discussion with other Child_Lit folks.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1126936533125280212005-09-17T06:55:00.000+01:002005-09-17T06:55:00.000+01:00Hey Suzi, welcome back to the electronic world !

I have missed your posts here and on your LJ...<BR/><BR/>It's a fact that <I>The Silmarillion</I> is not everyone's cup of tea, even if they're a Tolkien fan. It didn't bother me for 20 years that I hadn't read it, and I think I would not have read it last year if I had not been on such an intensive Tolkien-reading kick back last summer...<BR/><BR/>As to <I>Royal Assassin</I>, that's actually the <B>first</B> book, not the second !Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-1126906335095366112005-09-16T22:32:00.000+01:002005-09-16T22:32:00.000+01:00Yeah, so I tried to read this when I was 12 or 15 ...Yeah, so I tried to read this when I was 12 or 15 or something. I think I don't have my copy anymore, which is too bad as I'm now old enough and well-read enough to deal with it (I think!). Interesting. Maybe I'll take a peek if I can wade out from under the pile of other books I need to read! Can't quite get into Robin Hobb's second book, ROYAL ASSASSIN...someday soon, I gather.
