I'm going to reread the series before The Hidden City.
I agree that it will likely be a while before the next one.
Have you read her Sundered books? Not as detailed as the Sunsword, but good nonetheless. I'm also a fan of her 'Cast in ....' novels.

The Hidden City is sort of a prequel to the other books. Everything that takes place happens before the events in the Hunter's books.

I have all the Sundered books, but have had a real problem getting into them. One more try and then I'll give up. Like the 'Cast in...' novels very much.
 
Im currently continuing on my Asher fix with Polity Agent.

Really cannot get enough of this author lately. Skinner is next...
 
Finished Before they are Hanged with the expected 2nd book in trilogy ending. Probably can not make myself wait for the American edition to come out next year and will order book three from England.

Amazon UK is saying they will dispatch The Last Argument of Kings to me on the 19th of this month if you want to preorder it.
 
Finished Ring, by Koji Suzuki and moving on to Spiral. Having only skimmed the trilogy series the last time I read it, I'm thoroughly enjoying it this time.

It really doesn't end until the last of the Tawny Man trilogy. So, you have more Hobb books to anticipate. :D

I thought the Tawny Man trilogy was related to the Farseer trilogy, but is it really a continuation of the Farseer trilogy? Does it start after the events of the Assassin's Quest? (which I'm still reading, so please no spoilers :))
 
The Tawny man is definitely a continuation of the Farseer trilogy but even that happens after the live ship traders trilogy. Live ships is almost a side step but the best way to read them imo is farseer-live ship-tawny man.

For me, I've been shockingly bad with reading lately. Too many hobbies and too little time but I have finished the first book of a four book translation of the Outlaws of the Marsh (Water Margin) and really enjoyed it so I've moved straight on to the second one.

Also I've recently listened to an audio book of War of the Worlds, which I really did enjoy. I must have two or three editions of this on my bookshelf but never got around to reading them, I guess I thought I'd find it too dated. In the end I didn't and loved the story but I have to say being a novel told from the point of view of one narrator this is probably one of the best books to listen to as an audio book.

With last night being so quiet, I was able to finish Koji Suzuki's Spiral and start on the final book of the trilogy, Loop.
 
[FONT=&quot]I have just started to re-read [/FONT]Midnight Tides[FONT=&quot] by Steven Erikson. Now I get to meet the delightful Tehol Beddict, Bug, Kettle, Featherwitch and Brys Beddict again. :)
I am hoping though, that I shall enjoy the Sengar family this time round. I didn't like them, nor did I think they were completely relevant in the story.[/FONT]
 
Well, after many miles of travelling, and finally biting bullet and finding it online and getting to wait for shipping, I now have a copy of Under a Velvet Cloak. (Incarnations of Immortality 8) starting up on it now. hope it lives up to the effort it took to get it.
 
Mammoth by John Varley. A good traditional time-travel adventure, although unevenly paced. I'll post a review on my blog in due course.
 
I just finished First and Only by Dan Abnett, the first Warhammer 40K book.

I thought it would be cool becuase I like the warhammer world, but I found it to be lacking in decriptions, plain language, and an uninspiring plot with predictable twists. I really felt like he was trying to hard to make a "smart" plot where it all came together in the end, but it ended up feeling contrived and the satisfaction of a good solution.

I don't know if these books got better, has anyone read more?
 
I'm 3/4 through Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. Normally an author I read for star-spanning far-future action and whiz-bang alien technology. I'm very pleased (and not at all surprised) that he's pulled off a single-setting story of near-future humans thrust into a world of alien tech. I think it's his most compelling read since Revelation Space. A sense of menace has been lurking beneath the surface, and growing steadily for most of the story. Can't wait to get back to this one.
 
I'm definitely reading more this month! I'll have to slow down at some point, though. Koji Suzuki's Loop ended the trilogy perfectly, and I loved it.

Moving on to Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice.
 
I recently finished Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I rate it a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale. I’ve placed a more detailed post on this and the movie in the Classic SF & F section.
