My 2023 Reading Bracket is complete. It was very hard choosing between Mistborn, A Curse of Krakens, Changes and Fool‘s Fate. All of them were favorites this year but Fool‘s Fate edged out just slightly for the win 🥇

Moving right along with this trilogy within the greater series and loving every minute. Robin Hobb has such an amazing way of sucking you into this elaborate world with fully fleshed out characters without slogging you down with too much description. She gives you just enough to let your imagination run free 🥰

A monster of a finale - buckets of action, great character development, fascinating interactions (especially Fitz and the Fool) dragons getting frisky, heart-break (and corresponding heart-mend!) and a nice mix of satisfying AND frustrating resolutions. Whole trilogy has just been ultra absorbing - to maintain the relentlessly good writing over 2000 pages is no mean feat. High quality fantasy entertainment.

bnp Watching this evolve over time has been a fascinating and frustrating and amazing process. Kind of wish she'd write about Bee and Nettle now. An amazing story arc overall. 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There is nothing I can say to justify how wonderful this book is. It was gripping from start to finish. I lost so much sleep while I was reading this as I just couldn‘t put it down. I mean, sigh: 🖤 Fitz and the Fool (our beloved always), and the culmination of the last 9 books rolled into this epic conclusion. Superb. 💗

wanderinglynn Love Robin Hobb! ❤️ 3y

Oh Robin Hobb, you‘ve touched my heart deeply yet again.

The conclusion of the third trilogy in this world had me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. As soon as Fitz and friends reached Icefyre the dragon‘s island prison, I wanted to do nothing but read. The Fool, Beloved, will always be my beloved.

If you love high fantasy and you‘re looking for a series you could lose yourself in for years, this is it. Seriously. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hobb is an extremely talented storyteller - the best! She has created again a novel that slowly grabs hold of you - and doesn't let you go! She balances giving us so much detail as well as keeping the plot pace tight and engrossing. I love how she can give us a really satisfyingly complex novel, with competing characters, fascinating themes and challenging relationships - whilst entertaining and giving pure joy.

TrishB What a great review. Agree with every word ❤️ 4y

I absolutely love Hobb‘s Realm of the Elderlings series. This was the final book of the Tawny Man Trilogy, and the 9th in the 16 book series. Hobb‘s writing is so enjoyable and I always feel as though I‘m visiting with old friends. She has a tendency to put her characters through the worst, but things mostly turn out fine in the end. Realm of the Elderlings as a series is far better than The Wheel of Time IMO. Start at the beginning. 5⭐️ #2019

rretzler And did I mention, it has dragons! 🐉 5y
TrishB Best fantasy series ever! 5y
rretzler @TrishB I think I would have to agree, although I'm also partial to A Song of Ice and Fire! I've been trying to read Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series because it was voted one of the best 100 novels/series on the Great American Read. I'm on the 4th book, and to me, it pales in comparison with Realm. I can't connect to the characters and the writing falls flat in comparison to Hobbs! (and Martin and Bujold) 5y

readingjedi I'm currently reading Royal Assassin and I'm hysterically excited to know I've got so much more to come. What is the next trilogy? 5y
rretzler @readingjedi After the Farseer Trilogy, there is the Liveship Traders Trilogy, which is about a different set of characters. I actually liked it slightly better than Farseer. But then I liked the Tawny Man Trilogy, which goes back to the Farseer characters even better than Liveship! It‘s a fantastic series! Next up for me is the Rain Wild Chronicles, which goes back to the Liveship characters. Don‘t skip the non-Farseer trilogies. Happy reading 5y
rretzler @readingjedi The Fitz and The Fool Trilogy rounds out the overall series. The last book in it was published in 2017. I‘m really looking forward to the last 7 books! 5y

As with all Hobb's series set in this world, I enjoyed every moment. I read the series out of order, (after The Farseer Trilogy I actually skipped to Fitz and the Fool), but am happy to have went back to read this trilogy. I think I may buy these books so I can revisit these characters.

So people - what‘s your thoughts on reading a series....do you read all the books in one go, maintaining momentum or do you space it out over time??? #readingadvice

susanw I usually space out. Because, once they are done, there‘s nothing left to look forward to. But, I have torn through the odd series... so I guess I‘m no help. 6y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled These look fun! I kinda space them out until I lose interest 🤷‍♀️ 6y
DrexEdit If partly depends on whether the whole series is available yet! I have a list of series that I'm reading that either aren't done or are ongoing. So I probably fall more in the "breaking up the reading" group. 6y
See All 25 Comments
erzascarletbookgasm I space them out too 🙂 6y
DGRachel It really depends on the series, how may books are out, and my mood. If it‘s just a trilogy and all the books are out, there‘s a good chance I‘ll binge it. If it‘s a long running series and/or all the books aren‘t out, then I‘ll space them out so I don‘t get sick of the books. I had a bad experience with Sue Grafton‘s alphabet books and I still can‘t pick up another one without feeling all ragey. 6y
Mitch Ive tended to be a fan of spacing things out @susanw too...but then I‘ve kinda forgotten a bit of the nuance of stuff when I‘ve gone back for book 2/3....... 6y

Mitch When youve spaced things out guys - ever used an audio copy of the previous book to update you / get you back into it before moving on? @DrexEdit @erzascarletbookgasm ? (edited) 6y
Mitch @DGRachel I‘ve not binged a series yet - feel that I might plan to do that during a long winter weekend! 6y

Mitch @DGRachel yeah I was going to use my audible credit to refresh me on an NK Jemisin book that I read book 1 and then have left it too long! 6y
Reviewsbylola I am so bad about finishing series but when I usually take a break in between. 6y
robinb If it‘s complete I prefer reading it all straight through to keep it fresh on my mind. But occasionally, if I run across a really good one, I‘ll get hooked and read up to what‘s available. It also depends on my backlog for reviews...sometimes I don‘t have the time then to read them all together. 6y

The edition Amazon sent me of the Tawny Man trilogy is NOT the edition they claimed it was (bottom)! 😠 The edition I received is the one with the front covers I really dislike. Only my fellow Littens could understand the irrational irritation. 😉

Kalalalatja @vivastory I always recommend starting with The Farseer Trilogy. You could read The Liveship Traders trilogy as a stand alone series, but some parts of the Farseer trilogy will be spoiled a bit, if you do. This is the first in the Farseer trilogy 👍 7y

Kalalalatja @Theeclecticreader she is really great! I would start from the beginning (Farseer Trilogy, first book Assassin‘s Apprentice), because all give series are connected, and while the second and fourth series can be read independently, you get a much better understanding of the world and some of the references if you read it from the start 👍 4y

GAAAH, does that title + blurb sound ominous or what?

Robin Hobb is easily one of my favourite authors, and I'm in awe of how she weaves her magic with all the books I've read so far.

But. She's not exactly gentle with her characters. 😖

Where's the Hobb Heartbreak Squad at?

#RobinHobb #TawnyMan #Farseer #RotE #Realmoftheelderlings #fantasy #currentlyreading #amreading

Kalalalatja At least she doesn't kill off every beloved character like GRRM 😄 7y
elemenopew @Kalalalatja agreed. :) But goddamnit, she puts them through SO MUCH that I can't decide if that's better or worse. (Heh heh, 'beloved', I see what you did there) 7y
Kalalalatja Hah! I hadn't even thought about that myself, it was a coincidence 😄 and I see your point. It is an awful lot she puts them through, but somehow they emerge stronger. But it wouldn't hurt her to give them a bit of a break sometimes 👍 7y

I have around 300 pages left of this amazing book, but it feels like I have reached the main point of the book already. I don't know how Hobb will fill out the last part, but I am so excited to find out! 👏

So I do genuinely like this books (Tears We Cannot Stop). I will say I feel uncomfortable with/dislike the constant reference to preaching and sermonizing. I get it... I'm just personally allergic to religion. ANYWAY can anyone who has read lots of Robin Hobb tell me why I keep getting super distracted that he keeps calling the reader(s) beloved??

Mariposa_Bookworm Is this supposed to be fantasy? 7y
heikemarie @Mariposa_Bookworm the book pictures is nonfiction - Tears We Cannot Stop. The reference to Beloved is from the book I tagged. 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm Gotcha. It's a weird attempt at a biblical allusion. It's one of those things that would disrupt my reading flow. 7y
heikemarie @Mariposa_Bookworm Yes, he's created a book to mirror the structure of a sermon, and lots of ministers refer to their flock as beloved 😬 it has a special significance in the Fitz and the Fool books from Robin Hobb! Distracting for me as well. 7y

Oh, Fitz...
To have this ending only to know there is a triology more to your story.

I wanted to start with smaller books but instead I read this one. But it's totally worth it.

TrishB Well worth it 😀 7y

I got a late start on #LitsyPartyofOne yesterday, but made up for it by staying up til the early morning finishing the second book in the #TheTawnyManTrilogy. Robin Hobb's phenomenal writing, the crisp air outside, and this big cup of coffee should keep me engaged despite the lack of sleep. Now if I could get the toddlers to have their own readathon, I might make real progress. 😉

KCorter @pocketmermaid That's the magic of cropped photos. As I was trying to get this shot, my 2-year-old was using the table to try to hop the fence on our porch. 😲😥 #ConstantVigilance 7y
pocketmermaid Ha! I know exactly what you mean! But at least you know you've got a little square of your world in perfect harmony. 🌏 7y
KCorter @pocketmermaid Exactly. I'll take what peace I can find in 5-minute increments. 😊 7y
