13. Robin Hobb was one of the authors that influenced him.

I read this series, The Farseer Trilogy, in when I was in College and it's one of the fantasy series that has really stuck with me all these years. Over the summer I started rereading the series and was so happy to find that the book was just as good as I remembered it.

A quick synopsis of the first book, Assassin's Apprentice:

Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father’s gruff stableman. He is treated like an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz’s blood runs the magic Skill–and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom.

The series makes me think that if George R.R. Martin had just focused on Jon Snow and his story and was able to wrap up the series in three books instead of the sprawling series that it has become.
