003: Assassin's Apprentice (1995) versus The Magician (1983)
Manage episode 318857565 series 3307170
In this episode I compare the books Assassin’s Apprentice, by Robin Hobb, and Raymond E Fiest’s The Magician. After pointing out that they’re basically the same story, I proceed to explain how they’re completely different, by ripping The Magician to shreds and using the confetti to throw a parade for Assassin’s Apprentice.
