Hey there, I have recently finished the long awaited book by one of my favorite authors; Robin Hobb. Fool's Assassin is the first installment in the Fitz and the Fool's trilogy. If you are like me and you absolutely loved the Tawny Man's trilogy then you were also impatiently waiting for...

Does anyone love Burrich as much as I do? lol He's an old curmudgeon (especially concerning the Wit) but you can really tell how much he loved Fitz. I get the Fitz feels a little betrayed by Burrich going off and making babies with Molly but I kind of feel like Fitz is a little ungrateful for...

Hi, I'm new to the Robin Hobb's work and am just finishing off Assassin's Quest. The one thing I can't figure out about the story is why Fitz is the catalyst. Surely it can't be just because he's a ******* because if that was the defining aspect of a catalyst (a ******* in the Farseer blood...

My ranking (of what I've read): 1.Rain wild chronicles 2.Liveship traders 3.Tawny man 4.Farseer trilogy ...(more to come)

The US covers for the Liveship Traders series have been updated, with art provided by Didier Graffet (who was featured at last year's Worldcon): The Liveships Venture Out with Fresh Sails « Robin Hobb Hat tip to New covers for Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders trilogy

This is not a long book, in fact novella probably bet suits it. Returning to Hobbs Five Duchies home of such characters as Fitz and the fool, it takes the reader to the past. There is mention in the main novels - The Assassin novels and Fool books of a legend about the ruling Farseer family, of...

Hi, I just finished the Rain wilds an one question is on my mind... When Sedric went to Kelsingra for the second time (book 4), it is said that in Kelsingra he was eagerly awaiting the news from birds from Treehaug (or Cassarick?). This is not entirely clear to me, because I imagine that the...

Robin Hobb's assistant, who goes by "Office Kat", posted a video earlier teasing a new book from Hobb: It's a series that Hobb has been writing in her spare time for nearly two years, the first book is with the publishers, and they're hoping for a 2014 release. Through a series of text...

I just ordered a copy of Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice in a cloth bound hardcover from the UK amazon site. I am from Canada so it ends up costing me a pretty penny but it is not available here! It just looks cool so why not. I read this book for the first time about 5 years ago and...

Has anyone read this book? I saw it on amazon, looks like it was released Feb 28th? The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince It is a novella and it gives some background to the Farseers. I would like to read it but am hesitant to spend $30 on it

I am not sure if there is a thread about this book, but anyway here goes. I started reading this book and I must say I am quite enjoying Fitz's character and the style of Hobb's writing. I have one query though, from reviews a lot of people mention that there isn't much of a story/plot but more...

Anyone read any of Hobb's Megan Lindholm books? Any good? Love Hobb, but not sure if I'm into the tone of the Lindholm books.

=============SPOILERS=============== Hi there, I've just finished reading the 6 Farseer books about Fitz, i found this forum because i was searching for an answer that doesn't seem to get explained. Namely the two occasions when Fitz gets lost in travelling through skill pillars. Once...

*Spoilers for Fool's Fate* After Fitz brings the Fool back to life, there's a strange passage. It says "I held him while he wept, and I held him after his weeping was done. I let him take whatever comfort he could in the warmth and strength of my body. I have never fet less of a man that I...

This has been in my mind for years, but no one else seem to have ever mentioned it so i'm going ahead and ask: Does anyone think Mishap may actually be Starling own kid. Reasons: 1) Starling was raped by a forged one and got pregnant by it. 2) Apparantly Starling seemed incapable of of having...

Hello, I am looking for a fantasy to read, but I cannot choose between these two authors because I've never read anything from them and I don't know their styles at all. I am actually looking for a high fantasy, with magic, dragons, etc, with complex and interesting characters, without so...

I'm working my way through this book at the moment and wondered what everyone thought. I like how her two pen names are more obviously different in style when you see them together in one book! Not sure about the cover of the UK edition though :confused:

I have just finished reading tawny man series and am a big fan of fitz,i want to see him recognized as important man in kingdom,not living in obscurity,can we have another series where he gets the recognition he deserves?

So it looks like Hobb has a new one coming out called The Inheritance due out in the UK in March i think. I for one am excited to see the conclusion of the Rain Wild Chronicles. Should be a good one.
