Part 1: my #booketlist

I've accepted my own challenge (see prev posts)

1) 1st priority is to see what happens to Fitz & the Fool. My biggest emotional investment!

2) The Secret History

3) A Day of Fallen Night. (I've been a bit obsessed since Priory)

4) Chemickal Marriage - glass books is probs my all time fave book. I will not rest until I've read the sequels. Even if they suck. Which they may.

5) The next Shardlake

6) Death on the Nile

Branwen EXCELLENT choices! πŸ‘πŸ» I'm still trying to figure out which books I would choose! πŸ€”πŸ“š 12mo
dabbe Matthew Shardlake is my favorite β€œdetectiveβ€œ after Sherlock. πŸ’š him! 12mo

I‘m using this title for the #Booked2022 category Real or Fictional Royalty.

The Fool isn‘t royal (that I know πŸ€”) but his partner, Fitz is a royal bastard and the plot centers around their mission to rescue Prince Dutiful from...well, we‘re not sure whom at the start. This is the 1st in the Tawny Man trilogy and it was fantastic. Picks up 15 years after the Farseerer trilogy; pacing was excellent and the adventure melancholy but satisfying. πŸ‘

Top class fantasy. Really enjoyed this return to a world I loved. Fitz is such a complex character & spends the first third of this novel being an introspective grump! Then when all the recapping is done (only very slightly boring as the writing is, as always, scintillating) the Fool comes! Twists, turns, revelations, connections, references, all so satisfying. Love Fitz & Fool's relationship. Love the depth & detail of Hobb's world building.

The following words are only applicable to the portion of the book that follows the FIRST TEN HOURS of this audiobook: clever, witty, interesting, enjoyable, and entertaining. The first ten hours, though, were literally just back story. Useful? Yes. Could it have been achieved in 2-3 hours? Again, yes. I‘d read another Robin Hobb book absolutely, but I‘d make sure I had plenty of patience before I started it.

It‘s hard to even express how much I loved this book. Robin Hobb is a true master of Fantasy chunksters. I adore the characters, the world, and the depth of history and politics she creates. My heart is going to stay with this book for a while, even as I am reading the next thing.

If you haven‘t tried Robin Hobb yet, what are you waiting for? (Start with Assassin‘s Apprentice.)

It‘s been a lean reading month and it seems a Blue themed one too (total accident!). 50% were 5🌟, so not a bad month. I super enjoyed the comfort of getting back with Fitz, although tears were shed. The film (with Chloe Sevigny) was a fab pairing with Robertson‘s book. They worked well together. I discovered I love fantasy lands 80% based on real places ( thank you @DGRachel ) and I don‘t like re imagined fairy stories. #marchinbooks

15 yrs have passed since we last saw Fitz, yet Hobb skilfully, across the opening chapters of the book, takes us back to revisit the world and gets us cleverly connected back into the story. It's a different pace than the Liveship Trilogy finale, giving us time to reminisce, wallow in nostalgia & feel comforted by the familiarity of characters. It was fun to see threads coming together from previous books & lay the foundations for adventures ahead

Good to be back with Fitz and the Fool again. The Fool needs Fitz to save the world again-this time by finding Prince Dutiful who is missing from Buckkeep Castle. Fitz seems to be more mature and making somewhat better decisions this time out. 4.5/5.0 #2019

To give a detailed review I'd have to make the whole review a spoiler. It broke my heart. Read it.

TrishB The whole series of books broke my heart several times! 5y

Feels like this book is pointing to a harsh goodbye...
I can only hope not... I'm not ready!

Pickpick

I would rate this between a pick and so-so if I could, though it pains me. I love Robin Hobb but this book was just tedious. Sooo much of it took place inside Fitz‘s head, and a lot of that started getting repetitive. It picked up during the last quarter of the book, however. I can tell I‘m going to like Dutiful! #robinhobb

AlaMich @Cathythoughts it has been unseasonably warm here. But today the weather should become appropriately fall-like. 🍁 5y

Cold brew and book!
The gift of a warm morning in mid-October in Chicago. I mean, I know it‘s climate change but still...

I really enjoy Robin Hobb, but she is testing my patience with this book!! It‘s the first book in the Tawny Man trilogy, and I get that she needs to get the trilogy up and rolling in this one. But I am 30% of the way into it and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!! Nothing exceptβ€”and this is not a spoilerβ€”endless musings on the Wit and the Skill.

Cathythoughts If I wanted to try a Robin Hobb .... where would I start ? Thankyou , πŸ‘πŸ»β™₯️ 5y
AlaMich @Cathythoughts The short answer is, start with Assassin‘s Apprentice. It‘s the first book of the first trilogy of her Realm of the Elderlings books. There are four other trilogies/series that follow on chronologicallyβ€”for the most partβ€”from the first trilogy (The Farseer Trilogy). You could probably read the Liveship Traders trilogy whenever, though there is a little bit of crossover. Others may have differing opinions on this subject, however. 5y
AlaMich @Cathythoughts I guess that wasn‘t really the short answer after all. 😬 5y
Cathythoughts That‘s a perfect answer & thankyou β™₯οΈπŸ‘πŸ». I must get the Assassins Apprentice so .... with my gift card I got for Christmas πŸŽ‰. Happy Christmas to you ✨ 5y
AlaMich @Cathythoughts Happy Christmas to you as well! I hope you enjoy 5y

So here is my book haul! I've never read anything by Robin Hobb, but I've heard so many good things about her work here on Litsy... This is definitely #blameitonlitsy purchase πŸ˜‚
I also got a near new fantastic beasts screenplay hardback- ready for The Crimes of Grindelwald release in November πŸ˜‚

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Wow - you went big! Hope she becomes a favourite ✨ 6y
Ranchan Wait, Robin Hobb is a her? 😰😰 #neverreadhobb 6y
