As much as I enjoy Hobb‘s writing, I feel like I‘ve taken an emotional beating every time I finish one. And the cliff hangers! The characters get such a hold on your heart. I love these books but I think I need a rom-com chaser or maybe a fantasy or sci-fi with a happy ending. ๐Ÿ˜„

1. Regal, from Robin Hobbs Farseer books. Honestly hate him with a passion.

2. I have never cried as hard as I did at the death of a character in the tagged book. I don't want to spoiler it for anyone though. But it's stayed with me.

3. I used to live there so let's go for Terry Deary from Sunderland!

Wow. Took a couple of chapters to get my head out of the Rainwilds and back to FitzChivalry, but once I did.... And... she's still awfully good at torturing the poor guy.

Complex and wonderful characters, twists and turns, and terrifically written story.

Talk about tension! My stomach was in knots all through this book! Stayed up until 1am to finish it and I‘ll be picking up the next in the series first thing in the morning. A few new characters introduced in this one and as always, they were so well written. It was great to see Fitz again, even if he does keep F‘ing everything up! This time we see him from a different perspective and in a different phase of his life, which is really interesting.

TrishB Excellent series ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป 3y

Best part of having a dad who reads the same kinda of books as you (well for the most part) is I can always go raid his bookshelf. These books appear on multiple lists of the best fantasy books/series of all time so I figured it was time I should give them a go. My goal is to at least have read 1 of these before the end of summer but I guess we shall see.

I love returning to the world of Fitz, the Fool, assassins, intrigues and drama, and this book gave me all the feels. While some things annoy me a tiny bit, all the other great things make up for it. And with a cliff hanger ending like that, I‘m so glad I have the next two books ready of my shelf!

I‘m shelving my personal library after moving apartments this summer. This is part of my secondary paper book TBR. Which should be bumped up?
These range from โ€œhave wanted to read for agesโ€ to โ€œpicked up on a whim at ALAMW 2016โ€ and I need your help deciding if any are must-reads for me ๐Ÿค“

I read this book like an addict and have already downloaded the next in the series from my library.

Fitz is faced consistently with choices that all have less than desired outcomes. I don't want to give many details lest I spoil it for anyone but I will just say that the beginning of this series is another stellar volume in Hobb's work involving FitzChilvary.

Drags. There was one part where I thought I'd lost my place because Fitz was ruminating over the same topic again and I remembered reading that bit already.

Yeah_I_Read I liked the first book The Assasins Apprentice so I read the first 3 I couldn‘t get into the the Ship of Magic series or w.e.

Normally, #bookmail makes my day, but I became just a tiny, little bit disappointed when I saw the second and third book of the Fitz and the Fool trilogy were shorter than the first and all my other Hobb books ๐Ÿ˜ฉ I‘m planning on returning them, and getting them in the right size, because otherwise I might have gone a little mad everytime I looked at them. All the other books are wonderful, though, and I can‘t wait to get to them ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

For anyone familiar with these books... I just finished The Farseer trilogy and I have this but I know that there is the Tawny Man series that comes first but would I be able to read this before Tawny Man and not be totally lost ๐Ÿ˜ฌ? TIA

xicanti I strongly recommend you start with ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE--the first book in the Farseer Trilogy--and work your way forward in publication order. Hobb's books all build on one another, so while you might not be completely list you'll miss out on a lot of the effect if you start with this one. 6y
xicanti Argh, sorry, I got hung up on the Tawny Man and missed how you've already read the Farseer books. Your next stop is SHIP OF MAGIC in the Liveship Traders Trilogy. 6y

I experienced this in audiobook. It made my long commute to work better. It was not what I expected, however I really enjoyed it immensely! I immediately went to the next installment. YAY! It does not have the "romance" with characters like Sarah Maas. However it is there with a lot of the unexpected. I loved it. If you decide to try it, please let me know your thoughts.

I love the hell out of FOOL'S ASSASSIN, but I tried to reread it at a point where I needed something upbeat--and while Hobb is occasionally funny, a feel-good happy-fest she ain't. Consequently, I stumbled and had to take a couple weeks off to tackle some shorter books before I dove back in and finished it. Hopefully I can reread FOOL'S QUEST in a more timely fashion so I can finally see how everything ends in ASSASSIN'S FATE.

I love to recommend pretty much anything by Robin Hobb. Her books are epic & magical & surprisingly real fantasy, and I adore the world-building of the Six Duchies. They get a little confusing because every one either has 'fool' or 'assassin' or both in the title, but I THINK the FitzChivalry Farseer book you wanna start with is Assassin's Apprentice. #17booklove

My choice for the letter H for #LitsyAtoZ.

think the main reason this is just so-so for me is because I like some of the author's other books so much better. This book ended on a big cliffhanger, but I don't really feel the need to read the next book in the series. Still, it was nice to see families characters again and I plan on reading the sequel (probably closer to when the third book in this trilogy comes out).

If you want to read a book series where the characters do not change, then you should not read this book. If you want to read a book where the characters have aged and dealt with life since you first met them 20 years ago, then read this book. It is one of life's greatest pleasures.
