95. Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

This one was remarkably hard to find. Finally got it from the library, and as expected from the title, it's another fantasy set in medieval England in another dimension :) Fitz is a young boy brought into the royal court as a bastard, who is then apprenticed to - yes, you guessed it - an assassin.

Lots of intrigue and quite well written. The characters felt quite real, as did the events even though they weren't plausible in our time. I've quite enjoyed stretching my boundaries on fiction into this genre.
