review 1: A worthy end for the dragon chronicles. I really enjoyed reading this, after the third book had been a slight disappointment. It lacked a more subtle baddy, the Duke was insanely, archetypically evil and I like how Robin Hobb makes the characters have depth, so I missed that, but...

review 1: As excited as I was to return to the World of Fitz and the Fool, this book was strange and a little disappointing to me. So much yet so very very little happened in the book which left me unsatisfied. It was strange to see Fitz so domestic in this book but he stayed so true to ch...

review 1: Without going too much in to detail for fear of spoilers, but this is definitely not the story I thought this was going to be. This turned in to such the drama, and I did not see certain plot points about to happen at all. I'm a relatively new Robin Hobb fan (just began her Rain ...

review 1: All finished and what a ride. I didn't expect to love these books so much.I expected more typical fantasy and I got very little of that until the ending of the third book, which I swear was written in the 70s (in a good way) and sent forward in time. Other than a few types of "ma...

review 1: It was an interesting book to read from Robin Hobb. Although I did not love the type of narrative, it gave a sort of "journal" authenticity to the story - which was fine for a book this short.It's really in the last few pages though that this book starts to reveal interesting stu...

review 1: First let's talk about the book - the physical thing. The edition I have is a Voyager hardback and they have gone to town on it. The cover artist, the excellent Jackie Morris, has additional artwork scattered through the text, including two coloured illustrations at the start, an...

review 1: Great read, disappointing end. I don't feel rewarded for finishing it. I find myself looking for a different author rather than continuing on to the Tawny Man series. Perhaps I will return to Robin Hobb in time. Definitely an amazing storyteller... Just a depressing, unsatisfying...

review 1: A delightful series with a thoroughly flawed protagonist. His weaknesses and constant stumbling are what really draw me in as a reader. While Fitz matures and progresses as a character, his circumstances are oftentimes unforgiving and the end result becomes entirely unpredictable...

review 1: Robin Hobb became one of my favourite fantasy authors after reading this trilogy. I won't bore you all with the plot but I will say that the characters are complex and fully formed, she describes nature with a poets tongue and she writes honestly. Many authors in fantasy write ab...

review 1: Loved it. I'm amazed at the difference between this series, and the Rainwilds series. Fitz is a character that you feel empathy for, that you sit there and wonder how he is going to solve his problems, and that you can't wait to get back to when you're interrupted. The Rain Wild ...

review 1: Lindo conto da Robin Hobb. Escrita impecável, o que não é nenhuma novidade em se tratando da Robin. Apesar de se passar no mesmo local da trilogia The Farseer/Saga do Assassino, o conto não tem personagens da saga e nem faz qualquer menção a eles, pelo menos que eu tenha notado. ...
