pickMy 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?

#RealmofElderlings
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
I'm reading my 1998 edition of Ship of Magic and the pages are like tissue paper!
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?
“Refuse the anxiety. When you borrow trouble against what might be, you neglect the moment you have now to enjoy. The man who worries about what will next be happening to him loses this moment in dread of the next, and poisons the next with pre-judgment.”
pickThe 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.
"Put that book down and scritch me or I'll shove my snoot in your book. You've been reading for 7 hours straight, mom. ?" -Winston, probably
One of the things that I love most about this book is the naming of the characters. There are names suited very well to the fantasy genre like Althea, Keffria, Malta, Grag, Wintrow, and Brashen to name a few. Then there's Kyle. And yes, Kyle sucks as a person. He's the absolute worst. His name stands out among the rest like a sore thumb and I think it's by design maybe? Idk, but I think it's hilarious.

I've set up a book club on Storygraph about reading the entire Realm of Elderlings series - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf
I'll host readalongs, buddy reads and I'll post on Litsy. I'm hoping to start February/March. Couple of things need sorting like reading order and whether some books need two months to read.
