8. The Farseer by Robin Hobb 《刺客正传》——罗宾.侯布

Zombies! Sort of; the big threat in The Farseer trilogy comes from the villain turning the people of the Six Duchies into Forged ones, a type of zombification that removes all emotion from someone. That alone would probably get The Farseer on my list as I'm a pretty big zombiephile, but the writing and story here are both top notch. The premise sounds a little stock (boy grows up never knowing his mother, turns out to be a royal bastard, etc. etc.) but the predictability stops there. Hobb really fleshes out her main character, making him one of the more real characters I have had the pleasure of reading.

僵尸！类似的，刺客三部曲中最大的威胁来自于其中的反派角色将六公爵的人民变成活死人（- -），相当于将人僵尸化，使人失去所有情感。仅此一条就能让《刺客》上榜，因为我就是个僵尸爱好者（- -），但同时，此部作品的文字和故事也都是顶级的。前序有点儿老套（男孩出生后就不知道妈妈是谁，然后其实他是皇家私生子blablabla之类的），但能猜出结果的情节到此打住。侯布将主人公刻画得血肉充盈，使其成为我在阅读中享受到的最真实的人物之一。
