This was a warning she gave me as she told me I ABSOLUTEY NEEDED to read the Farseer Trilogy. lol And, I've come to find that she's right. It took me better than a week, a little more than a week and a half actually, to read "Assassin's Apprentice". Now, however, it's only been less than a day, and I'm almost finished with "Royal Assassin". So, in this instance, my gf is completely on the money.

I say stick with her books, I'm glad I have.
I have to say, i agree with your girlfriend. it took me half of the first book to really get stuck in, but once i was stuck in, i couldnt put the books down until i'd read all three trilogies. But when I re-read the books (for the first time), I found that it wasnt that hard to get into the second time, and you notice more things that tie in to things that happen later in the story, or that help clarify some things.
