It is clear that the universe created for the series of royal assassin and refined with the adventurers of the sea inspires Robin Hobb.
An interesting story thus begins as each series with the introduction of the main characters; in short, it sets the scene in this book .....
But, again, the fact Pygmalion Pygmalion ... with a series of Robin Hobb. Three volumes, we'll work this out 12 and 20 euros the book, I consider that it's almost theft. The book reads indeed a nod but Robin Hobb has nothing to do I agree. Yet it is so frustrating that it rubs off on our overall impression of the work, one with the impression that it does not advance.
In short, it is better to wait for the release editions BRAGELONNE which includes generally at least three volumes and costs "only" 25 euros.
For fans of fantasy, I would advise another kind "The name of the Wind", "The first law" or "sword of truth" (Attention adult literature).
