El bastardo Traspié prosigue su aprendizaje de las artes del asesinato, pero el muchacho descubrirá que hay maestros mucho peores que los que ha conocido hasta ahora, pues su adiestramiento en la Habilidad bien podría costarle su alma... y su vida. La diplomacia del asesino continúa la imprescindible “Saga del Vatídico”, presentando los despiadados esfuerzos del Rey Artimañas para proteger a su reino de la maldición de la Forja; pues ningún sacrificio, ni el del más valioso de los vasallos, es demasiado pequeño para asegurar el futuro. Firmemente arraigada en los cimientos de la fantasía heroica y los romances artúricos, Robin Hobb nos presenta a un protagonista que va dejando atrás su niñez al tiempo que descubre el significado de conceptos tales como la confianza y la lealtad.

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.
