Robin Hobb is the author of three well-received fantasy trilogies: The Farseer Trilogy (Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin’s Quest), The Liveship Traders Trilogy (Ship of Magic, Mad Ship and Ship of Destiny) and the Tawny Man Trilogy (Fool’s Errand, Golden Fool, and Fool’s Fate) Her current work in progress is entitled Shaman’s Crossing. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van.

It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. And I am blown away.** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. I've read everything before that, in order, as Hobb intended. My question is: Can I jump right into Fitz and the Fool after Fool's Fate, or is this a bad idea?ĮDIT: 2 months later, I'm finally reading Assassin's Fate. Hobb's work and incredibly detailed world demands nothing less. Obviously, I have to read Liveship Traders and Rainwild Chronicles. And then I found out there's 7 more books to read before I can find out Fitz's fate?!!! Now that the final (?) Fitz and the Fool series is out, I'm re-reading the books I have, leading up to F&tF. I am beyond excited to see what happens to Fitz in Fitz and the Fool. This series has spanned over half my life.

I'm allergic to spoilers, though, and so I must come to this fine sub in supplication, and ask most humbly.ĭue to the timing of my introduction to Hobb's work, I ended up reading the Farseer trilogy in 8th grade and the Tawny Man series years later, in university. Preface: I know the canonical ordering of the various series, and I know this question has likely been asked before in some form on this sub.
