I am hopefully going to read Robin Hobb, however which book is the best to start with. Is there a particular order. Thank you.

I am looking for a sci fi novel from the 70s or 80s, it is set aboard a living ship piloted by an insect-like alien and a small crew of humans in an attached metal structure. I remember reading it in the early 90s but the copy was quite old so I believe it would have been published in the late...

I recently bought and read the book on kindle. At the the time of reading I was unaware that the book contains a large preview of the second book in the series. I always keep track on the % of the book I have read. So I got a very unwelcome shock when at 80% through, the book just ended. I was...

So I've clearly been out of the loop for a while as it seems last year and earlier they've started printing and selling Illustrated editions of the series! Which prompted me to start doing a hunt to find out how many illustrations and what kinds and all other such details. Though information is...

Alright, years ago read a fantasy war novel. I thought the book was Called Sherman's March but cannot find it anywhere. As for plot, Its about a young boy joining an officer school and his classes. His country is at war. While in school, he visits a town and falls in love with a girl who...

This is an odd book. I read it without reading the first two books in the series, or anything else by the author under her Megan Lindholm name. I knew of her talent as Robin Hobb of course, and that the switch of pen names was partially driven by a decision to relaunch her career with a more...

I always think of Stones, it is my economic action. I know it is played with the skill, and that needs to be taken into account - with the way the game is played. I know that Black stones are the highest count, red are the middle, and white the least - so we can assume it is three, two, one, in...

In a beautiful crossover of my two favourite things... The BBC's Paperback Writers series where an author takes the reins of a radio show for an hour, playing their favourite tunes and chatting inbetween, is back*. Robin Hobb will be live on BBC 6Music this afternoon from 1pm, and then...

I am about half way through this book. I am really enjoying it. I'm trying to read it slowly and savour every word,but as usual,I'm galloping through it because I need to know what happens. Fitz is my favourite hero of all,even though now and then I could give him a slap. Reading this book is...

Now that I'm really sure I can read more about Fitz and Fool's adventures in May. I would like to remember their story since the beginning in The Farseer Trilogy. As there are several volumes, the purpose of this thread is restricted as the title indicates, to The Farseer Trilogy. We can always...

The Farseer Trilogy #1: Assassin's Apprentice

I've just finished reading Fool's Quest, the second in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy. Please be aware of spoilers if you haven't finished reading... I have really enjoyed coming back to Fitz' story and learning more about Bee. Fool's Quest is carried along in quite a leisurely pace but, as...

As you probably all know,Robin Hobb has written books under the name,Megan Lindholm. I thought I had read them all,but found, to my delight that I hadn't read The Windsingers series. There are four books,of which I have now read two. Much as I really admire and enjoy Robin's(Megan's) writing,I...

Ok, The Inheritance - a mix of short stories from both Megan Lindholme and Robin Hobb - as we know, the same person. The "Megan" stories are ok. Not great but ok. But then there's "Homecoming" set in the Rain Wilds. If you enjoyed the Rain Wilds Chronicles then this one is a must - very good...
