I actually had no idea there was an order to these trilogies until now. Good thing I started with Assassin’s Apprentice!

My old boss recommended Assassins Apprentice for decades and I just picked it up. About to start it after I finish the First Law trilogy.

I think poor Fitz's problem in Assassin's Quest is that he had so recently been traumatized by his experience in Regal's dungeon, and then been brought back from the dead, leaving him with PTSD symptoms; plus the effect the Skill road had on him, and the side effects of the elfsbark he was taking. Then there was his worrying about Molly and Burrich as well. No wonder he was so angsty! It's like he's in a hazy or foggy state of mind similar to what Shrewd went through in Royal Assassin!
@SamsCozyCorner 7 жыл бұрын
Oh most definitely! I feel for Fitz so much in AQ and feel like everyone was overly harsh with him in that book. When I speak of his Angst I'm referring more to Assassin's Apprentice and Royal Assassin (the first half) but didn't really clarify that well. More the moments when he's not listening to the advise of others and his thickheadedness in regards to Molly lol
@smackmmk 3 жыл бұрын
@@SamsCozyCorner but to be fair, even in those books he had good reason to be angsty. Taken away from your mother at a early age, made to become a Assassin, nearly killed by zombies, your two of your best friends dieing (the dogs), being framed and nearly killed by your uncle twice, seeing your grandpa killed, thinking you lost the love of your life before actually losing her, ect. ECT. Fitz has a rough life, there is plenty of reason for his angst, I think it's perfectly justified how he feels. Honestly, when it came to the advice everyone gave to him about Molly, I totally agreed with his perspective. If I truly loved someone, and I was in a position like Fitz was, I would have stuck by her.

I started reading Robin Hobb this year and I'm loving it! I tend to like more character-focused, slow paced stories and her books are just perfect. I can easily see her becoming my favorite fantasy author.

YAY! I'm so glad you're enjoying them :) I love how detailed her stories are, but she does it in such a way that i feel even more immersed in what I'm reading

I just finished Ship of Destiny last night and the Liveship Traders series as a whole is probably one of the best things I've ever read, but yes they're so depressing! Hopeful, but sad. I cried a lot. I'm so excited to get back into Fitz's story though!
@DemonFelicity 7 жыл бұрын
I finished the Liveship Traders series two weeks ago and I loved it too. However, i am not sure how i feel about how Althea and Kennit aspect ended. It kind of frustrated me a bit that Kennit could "get away with it" but it's still pretty realistic though... I still feel sad about that aspect of the book. But i am also excited to read the next trilogy.

Hi Sam. I started reading Hobb because of you probably something like 3 years ago. As you know her books are massive (and I'm a slow reader) so I'm still trucking along. So far I've read the Farseer Trilogy, the Liveship Traders Trilogy and books 1 and 2 in the Tawny Man Trilogy. I don't like to marathon trilogies because I get bogged down, but when I do come back to the Realm of the Elderlings, it feels like I'm back at home. I have you to thank for that feeling. Keep doing what you do 🤗 -Star

Hey, I joined your Hobb a long group. After hearing you talk about the first trilogy, I feel like I understand better what I had had a hard time with before. Thanks for that. once I got finished with breeding the Assassin's Apprentice I still felt really confused about what in the world exactly the skill and what the and what the other skill he talked about that he had. I just did not understand them at all. however you have really helped me understand that I only scratched the surface of the iceberg about that, so I'm going to give it another try.

Hi! Thank you for this excellent video! I'm currently reading the farseer trilogy and I can say that I am really enjoying it. But I have a question to ask if you have read the song of ice and fire. I am a big fan of G.R.R Martin and I've read his books and I was wondering if Robin Hobb's series is better than his. Thank you again!

I don’t necessarily equate fast passed with action adventure. A book could be action adventure and be slow paced or character driven and be well paced. Good pacing comes down one simple thing a lot of authors even the popular ones struggle with and that is relevance. Is this plotline relevant to furthering the plot, are these descriptions necessary or do they add to your understanding of whats going on, does this character need to exist. The best kind of authors are the ones that integrate world building into the story rather than stopping the story to world build. Relevance is what makes good pacing no matter what kind of story is being told, and if the author respects the readers intelligence and imagination all the better.

I'm so scared of picking up 'Fool's Fate' (just because I hate crying, and I'm scared for the characters) which is my next book. It will be happening next month I think. I'm definitely happy I pushed through Assassin's Quest, because since then I have definitely enjoyed every book I've read by Hobb, even though they are often incredibly sad.

Now I'm scared they won't translate and bring the other trilogies to my country :S well I'll have to buy them in English. So much to read and I just finished Assassin's Apprentice, but so excited because I really liked it. Ahhh just want to read fast to read the others, but bad Idea, this books I must to read slowly to really enjoy them. The video was definitely helpful now I know in what other to read her other books and that there are more books.

This is a 'very' good Sam review. However 2/3rd of way through you say you didn't like the social commentary, and I think you meant to say you "did" like the social commentary aspect of the books? I have a few comments and questions, is there a way to contact you more directly please... I don't want to give any more spoiler away to anyone else? Ta!

The two things i can take away from Hobb is her character development and world building. I have so many questions regarding the world as a whole and that is a good thing, the development of certain people within the books is amazing. Spoilers below What i took away as a series is it follows the descendants of the old Elderlings (Farseers) and the creation of the new (Kuprus, Vestrits) and the White Prophets involvement in changing the course of the world. The Skill and Silver still confounds me but i think the old elderlings had it in their blood like dragons.

I'm really trying to get Assassin's apprentice now but. First of all I'd call it vet's apprentice instead, the lack of any significant actions, the main character is not rally appealing and the pace of the narration is soooooooooooooo slow. I'm not quite sure that I'll be able to finish this book. So far, Robin Hobb didn't really impress me a bit.
