repost for @PuddleJumper

#RealmofElderlings will be reading The Mad Ship during September and October. This is the second in the Liveship Traders trilogy

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and I'm excited to get stuck into the second

How is everyone doing? It's a big change from the Farseer trilogy.

PuddleJumper @Ruthiella That's going to be July/August next year 😅 Want me to take you off the list and add you back in when we get to them? 2w
Ruthiella Sure. That‘ll work. 🙏 2w
PuddleJumper @Ruthiella No worries, I've done that and made a note 2w
kelli7990 I‘ve started Royal Assassin but I haven‘t gotten back to reading it again. I‘ve been catching up on ARCs this month. 2w

I only have one goal for the #SummersEnd #ReadAThon:
To catch up on #RealmOfElderlings

It's 897 pages, so it should keep me occupied for the whole Readathon.

We are at the half way mark with Ship of Magic for #RealmofElderlings buddy read or challenge

Who has started/finished the book?

How are you finding it in comparison to the Farseer trilogy?

Use spoiler tags if necessary!

We'll be reading Ship of Magic through August and then Mad Ship September/October

Everyone is doing great, these are chonky chonky books. I've really enjoyed the buddy read on SG and seeing what people think as the read

Laughterhp Still waiting on my library hold to come in! 1mo
willaful I started it but was traveling and found it hard to concentrate. I may just not have it in me for these right now, but I will try again.

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp So unpredictable! Hopefully it'll come soon 1mo
PuddleJumper @willaful Understandable, sometimes it's not the right time 1mo
kelli7990 I‘m still reading Royal Assassin. I‘ve started Royal Assassin but I‘ve only read the prologue. (edited) 1mo
PuddleJumper @kelli7990 I'm going to go back to Farseer trilogy. I much prefer the Liveship Traders and I don't need the misery of Fitz's life right now! 🤣 1mo
Luke-XVX Can you un tag me? I‘ve no idea when I‘ll get to these books unfortunately 1mo
PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX No worries, I've taken you off the list 1mo
Luke-XVX Thanks! Enjoy 1mo
Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm a bit behind on starting this one. I had anaesthesia and always struggle to get back into reading afterwards. 1mo
PuddleJumper @Enchanted_Bibliophile That's very understandable! There's no rush 1mo

My favourite fantasy series. First time I've re-read it in over 10 years and it's still as good as I remembered.

I do need a break before the next book. Maybe something cheerful and not as complex?

This is me. I want all the women in his life to Murder on the Orient Express him.

I actually can't remember what happens to him and it's making me anxious that he's going to stick around and make things so much worse

Ruthiella Don‘t worry. He will get his just rewards. But the reader (and everyone around him) has to suffer him for a long while. 2mo
PuddleJumper @Ruthiella 🥳🥳 Good to know! I figured he'd be around for a while. I just ... Everytime he appears there's so much rage 2mo
RaeLovesToRead I love the using of "Murder on the Orient Express" as a verb ??? 2mo

We are nearing the time where we say goodbye to FitzChivalry and hello to magic ships and I am so excited!

Next book for #RealmofElderlings will be Ship of Magic which starts the Liveship Trader trilogy. This is by far my favourite trilogy

I'll do a Farseer trilogy wrap up when the leaderboard gets generated

Are we excited to explore a different part of Robin Hobb's world? What are your expectations?

Laughterhp Do I need to have finished the other trilogy to enjoy this one? Because I only read the first book again for fitzchivalry. 2mo

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp No, it's set in a different part of the world. I actually read this trilogy first on my original read through 2mo
Laughterhp Oh okay, perfect! I‘m hoping I‘ll be more into the next trilogy. 2mo
PuddleJumper @Laughterhp Farseer Trilogy is an outlier, it is the only series in 1st person I believe. I see prior recommending reading the Liveship Traders first before Farseer because by then you're invested and won't be easily put off 😅 2mo
Enchanted_Bibliophile I'm excited to jump into the new trilogy 😃 (see what I did there) 😉 2mo

The magic in this trilogy is god tier. The story is fast-paced & the multiple POVs are used skillfully to keep the pace quick and build the world. The political turmoil makes me wonder if the author is clairvoyant. Also, there are the coolest fucking dragons ever written. I could go on and on. Read this trilogy.

JamieArc Which is the first? I‘ve wanted to read a Robin Hobb book for a while but was intimidated, not knowing where to start. 7mo
Rachel.Rencher @JamieArc I started with Ship of Magic which is book 1 in the Liveship Trader trilogy, but I found out later it was book 4 in the Realm of the Elderlings universe. The trilogy I read is a standalone in the same universe, so I didn't miss out on anything by starting here. If you want to start at the VERY beginning though, go with Assassin's Apprentice which is book 1 of the Farseer trilogy. 🥰 7mo
PuddleJumper @JamieArc I'm running a readalong/book club where we read all of the books. We're starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February though you can jump in whenever. Everything is under the #RealofElderlings tag 7mo
