I'm from Belgium, so I don't have the English books, and I was wondering how the original names are. I know some things, like FitzChevalry, Verity, Regal,... But how are the other people called? The fool says Fitz a name, something like my love? Anyway, if anyone would be so friendly to say me...

I see that Dragon Keeper is set for a June 25 release in the UK? and not until Jan 2010 in Canada. I should order it accross the ocean. Here is the blurb from Amazon Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in this standalone adventure from the...

Hi, what's your favourite quotes from all of the books?

Hi, first post. I read soldier sons trilogy a few years ago on a family holiday, when I was 15 or 16 years old which was totally boring so I spent my whole time reading the first book. I was totally drawn into the book, but I still haven't got around to reading the next one, which I heard it a...

Hi, I've just finished the Farseer Trilogy. I've come on the web to talk about it, and the first thing I see is that there is another 3 books? Are they in first person as Fitz again? I'd love to read another 3, I felt that the ending was quite weak and thought more should have been...

My boyfriend has just started reading the Farseer Trilogy, and hopes to go on and read all of the Hobb books (as I have). We were having some fun today and came up with what we think is a super cool cast list for the main characters from the Farseer Trilogy... I'd love to hear opinions...

I just have to say that I finally picked up the first book of the Liveship Traders and was blown away by it. I had read the Farseer and Tawny Man books already and the first two Soldier son books. For some reason I had been hesitant to pick up the Liveship books. I guess I have been so...

Just wondering which Character of Hobb's is everyone's favorite? (I left out Nighteyes because I knew everyone would pick him)

So, I have read the Farseer, Liveship and Tawnyman series. Now I am left with one question, What next? I like Hobb's perspective and detail of writing, it was probably the most enjoyable read I've ever had, but now I'm looking for a new SERIES to get hooked onto. I don't really mind the...

I am back to the Robin Hobb forum! Its been almost exactly one year since I read the six Farseer books and posted in here. Lately I've been thinking about re-reading the Farseer books. I think I might even enjoy them more the second time around possibly. Because this time I'd know it's worth it...

In the assasins apprentice kettriken is discribed as having "jade" eyes when fitz is first presented to king eyod. In royal assasin it says that "her blue eyes turned grey with chill" am i missing something? appreciate any light you can shine on the matter!!

untill now i haven't seen anyone talkes about the poem the Fool has wrote to Fitz. i would like to read how others think about it. i think when i first read it - it broke my heart. i am still heartbroken....:(

I was just wondering what Hobb's book would be like if she didnt write them in first person. We could have followed the fool and got a sense of him other than through Fitz's eyes. I know that everyone feels that Hobb is a little unfair and cruel to her main characters. We may think this...

there is too much that still needs tying up. i loved it utterly and thoroughly havne't enjoyed a fantasy series as much as this for a long long time. WEll writtten Robin Margaret Hobb Lindholm ***********THIS IS FULL OF SPOILERS ************* WARTNING WARNING SPOILERS BELOW but it can't...

Why does everyone love the fool so much? I think hes a good character but nowhere near as good as some others like Chade or Nighteyes.

Hi there! First of all ..i'm new to this forum and i registered specifically to view your thoughts about the next question.. I just finished reading the last book of the soldiers son trilogy and i left the story a bit puzzled about what eventually satisfied orandula. I thought i knew what is was...

Hey, i have an english assignment task based upon any type of "Changing Self" demonstrative texts. Since i absolutely love these books series i chose to base it on these 2 series. I was wondering if anyone had any information/quotes and also examples of how "Changing Self" is presented in the...

Fitz's "boy" that Starling brings him. I swear there was a kid named Mishap, nicknamed Happ, somewhere else in the book, but I can't remember where. Ring a bell?

I just finished the Farseer Trilogy, and I saw this at the book store and picked it up. The cover caught my eye, and I DO judge books by the cover ;) The reviews for it on Amazon aren't that great though, apparently it's repetitive? Has anyone read this book?

I dunno if anyone elses given this much thought, but I've been trying to figure out how to play Stones, the game Kettle gives Fitz in AQ. It seems fairly similar to Go, a game with just two types of pieces, black and white, one for each player, yet I can't figure out the goal of the game. Alot...
