8. The Farseer by Robin Hobb 《刺客正傳》——羅賓.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!類似的,刺客三部曲中最大的威脅來自于其中的反派角色將六公爵的人民變成活死人(- -),相當于將人僵尸化,使人失去所有情感。僅此一條就能讓《刺客》上榜,因為我就是個僵尸愛好者(- -),但同時,此部作品的文字和故事也都是頂級的。前序有點兒老套(男孩出生后就不知道媽媽是誰,然后其實他是皇家私生子blablabla之類的),但能猜出結果的情節到此打住。侯布將主人公刻畫得血肉充盈,使其成為我在閱讀中享受到的最真實的人物之一。
