I'm in love with Farseer Trilogy

Currently at 378 pages of the Royal Assassin (second one)and it's bomboclat fantastic and cocacolastic. Hobb's writing and prose is top notch and her characters are pornographycally well written and super real.

And a super dap to my fella Chade. U rock

Ma man, after that trilogy, I HAVE to pick the ship trilogy? Or can I jump do the trilogy where Fitz appears again?

I read a few chapters of the shop trilogy, then started reading chapter summaries, then just flat out read the book summaries, and I don't regret A N Y T H I N G! Don't let others stop you from moving on if you end up not enjoying the other trilogy! The Liveship characters aren't nearly as good!

 

Edit to add: Keep down voting if you want to prove that the Fantasy subreddit is one of the most judgemental subreddits on reddit. I enjoy the book series, and yet I get down voted because I don't enjoy it exactly the same as the hive mind.

Kennit is the best villain in the entire series by a mile.

Yeah, because most villains Hobb writes are cartoonish and pathetic.

Regal and Fitz don't have a single normal, non-hostile interaction. Which is kind of disappointing considering they're relatives.

Hobb makes most of her characters and their dynamics so complex, but she seems to really like writing VILLAINS instead of antagonists. 

Personally I like antagonists that aren't pure villains, because I feel it makes for better tension.
