Book 2: Not as good as the first book but still a great read. What is slightly annoying is the unsolved questions from book 1 are still unanswered and the author taking over 3 years to write book 3!

The Farseer 1.Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy)The Farseer 1.Assassin's Apprentice (The Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
If you like medieval type fantasy then you'll love this. Fitz, the fool and Burich are amazing characters but i did feel the book dragged on a bit.
The Farseer II: Royal Assassin (The Farseer Trilogy)The Farseer II: Royal Assassin (The Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £1.20
Book 2. Fitz leaves his childhood behind in spectacular fashion. I've never known a character have so much c**p thrown at them! Again a bit long winded.
Assassin's Quest (The Farseer Trilogy)Assassin's Quest (The Farseer Trilogy) by Robin Hobb
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £1.40
Book 3. To be honest, i skipped several pages at the beginning. The endless trvelling and the "lets beat Fitz up yet again!" started to get tiresome. VERY long winded .... yet i still liked it.
The Silver ChildThe Silver Child by Cliff McNish
Buy new: £1.35 / Used from: £0.01
So original i don't even know how to summarise it! Have a look at the big reviews, it's a terrific and highly original story!
Silver City (Silver Sequence S.)Silver City (Silver Sequence S.) by Cliff McNish
Buy new: £1.29 / Used from: £0.01
Book 2. To be honest it doesn't feel like a trilogy, it feels like 1 book roughly chopped into 3 to make more money. My only critisism.
Silver World (Silver Sequence)Silver World (Silver Sequence) by Cliff McNish
Buy new: £0.67 / Used from: £0.28
Book 3. The books conclude in spectacular fashion. I've honestly never read anything so original before.
The Haunting of Alaizabel CrayThe Haunting of Alaizabel Cray by Chris Wooding
Buy used from: £0.01
I love stories set in old style foggy atmospheric London. Parts are heavily inspired by Jack The Ripper (or From Hell) but this spooky book is brilliant.
Physik (Septimus Heap)Physik (Septimus Heap) by Angie Sage
Buy new: £5.00 / Used from: £1.99
Book 3 in the Septimus Heap series. I think book 1 is the best but this one doesn't disappoint!

Fabulous grim fantasy! A great mix of fantasy and horror.
