I have often thought that if there was a film, who could be cast as the main characters in the Farseer/Tawny Man series? I think that the books would translate quite well to the big screen, but finding a cast would be a challenge. Who would you pick to play the likes of Fitz, The Fool and such?

So i just wrapped up the end of the Farseer trilogy, and must say, i absolutely loved it. I love the story with Fitz so much that i realy want to skip straight to the Twany Man set, but I'm wondering if this would be a vast mistake. So is the Liveship Traders vital for my understanding of the...

Amber created for Paragon new face. His new face was Fitz's. Am I right?

damn... it.. Stuck at work and can't read my book yet I am at the end of Assassins Quest.. its like... torture.. damnit.

Just in the middle of reading Assassins Quest and throughly enjoying the series.. So the question... should I skip The Liveship Traders and go straight to the Tawny Man trilogy .... would I miss anything out of fitz... would it be better to read the liveship traders then the tawny man...

Why is it that many people think Robin Hobb is a he? Is it because of the spelling? for instance, i know someone called Robin who is male, but i also know someone called Robyn, who is female. Is it this spelling which determines the gender of a certain person? Or is it *here's my turn to be a...

At the end of fools fate, icefire was freed and the white prophets stone dragon was defeated. But doesn't that sort of mean that the cycle is continued? Isn't there another black dragon in the ice at Aslevjal? Just an idea.

I have just finished reading Fools Fate and found the Death of Nighteyes to be extremely emotional for me. I did have asoft spot for him due to his special connection with fitz but still i found the way hobb wrote it into the book to be truely amazing. The communication between them in the final...

Sorry, possible spoilers for Fool's Fate. Anyway, hiya! I am a bit confuddled about the Skill Pillars. I shall explain. When Fitz departs Aslevjal for the last time via the Skill Pillar, his journey ends up going a bit skewiff. He ends up arriving at some dark confuddling place...

Just finished this and find the series is getting better and just wondering what anybody else feels.

My boyfriend and I have been reading the Farseer trilogy and now The Tawny Man aloud to each other for some time now. Naturally we're addicted. I was guiding him along the sidewalk today as he was reading, because we couldn't put the book down long enough to go out and get something to eat, when...

I'm still reading Shaman's Crossing at the moment and I am enjoying it but not as much as I enjoyed Fitz's stories. Nevare is just so depressing! He's constantly moaning and whining and thinking everything is his fault or his problem, I just want to slap him!! But then Fitz was a bit like that...

Hey, I've often looked at Robin Hobb's books but i've never come to buy one yet. Can anyone reccomend a book that sums up Hobb's style. Maybe a stand alone book, something fiarly straight forward. Thanks

I recently finished all of the Farseer/Liveship/Fool books and kept asking my friends - why haven't I discovered this writer before? Her plots are fantastic. My adult children are now squabbling over who gets the next book first, which is something of a coup, as one of them generally loathes...

Ok, well im not unknowingly reading it back-to-front or anything, but I'm midway through Assassins Apprentice and I'm not really getting into it at all. I was just interested in people's opinions as to whether I should give up or if it's really a book worth reading. Perhaps I'm just not...

I've just finished Ship of Destiny and loved it! I just wondered why was Wintrow so important to Amber?! :confused: I thought a lot more was going to happen there than what did. Amber kept going on about a nine fingered slave boy and when she finally found Wintrow she didn't really say anything...

hello all :D!! I've been hearing a lot of good things about Robin Hobb so I'm thinking it could be next in line on my list of 'too buy's. I was just wondering if there is an order of reading that should be followed, and if the different group of books link in together? also that said, are...

Ok, so last night I had a dream that I was Etta!! And come to think of it, she probably is one of my favourite characters from the Liveship books, even though I'm only halfway through the second one. Other faves of mine are probably Fitz, Paragon, Brashen. Um. . . Amber. I prefer Amber to the...

Has anyone else yet read this? I got it a couple of days ago and found it predictable, to the extremes, after the first mention of his 'problem' on perhaps page one i immediatley knew what was going on. Also i think the ending was pretty crud, whilst it was effective, it wasnt the ending that i...

I know that Galen is the ******* brother of Regal, and that they share a mother, Queen Desire, but can anybody tell me who the father was?
