I first read the Farseer trilogy when I was about fifteen, in Finnish. I first read the Tawny Man trilogy about ten years later in English. To this day I love how the Farseer ends and not just, because it's not the same old where the hero saves the day, gets the girl and lives happily ever after. ...

The Tawny Man series winds to a close and it's a bittersweet moment. Knowing that the series has wound up is bitter but the path is sweet. I avoided reading this for a while because I was enjoying the journey so much. Fitz is still trying to train the kings coterie. Finds that one of his old me...

Boy, is Robin Hobb good at fanservice! The good kind, not the gratuitous female nudity kind.Although it drags in parts, a lot of this book -mostly the second half- is just filled with squee. Even the ending, if you ship that way. (I don't. WTH.) There was a pleasant revist after revisit of old frien...

If you are a fan of sci-fi/fantasy and ...

Slightly anticlimactic in the end, but a great read nevertheless.

I have never read a story with characters who felt more real than these. I care about them genuinely. And as with the other Robin Hobb books, I almost didn't feel like I was reading at all...her style just transports you there. I'm still digesting it, so I'm not sure I'll write an involved review ju...

Hmm, what to say about this book?On the one hand, it's great in style and plot as the previous ones are, though it was rather predictable.On the other hand, it nearly lost a star (and most certainly lost my 'favorite' status) because I absolutely did not agree with the ending. But despite it all, I ...

Fitting end to Fitz's story. My only regret is waiting so long to read this series.
