Fantastic writer. I found her hard to get into - I don't know why now but I can remember wondering what people were raving on about. When I finally did read her stuff, WOW!!! I loved it. I think I've read The Royal Assasin series, Live Ship Traders series & Tawny Man series about 3 times each!
I really didn't like her Soldier Son series at all, didn't finish the first book, so if they are the ones you've been given, they are not her best work.
I love Robin Hobb! Well, her first three series anyway. I recall reading the soldier son trilogy, but had completely forgotten who they were writen by. Certainly not at the same standard as the liveship traders, etc.
Didn't know there was a new book out - have been avoiding bookshops lately due to lack of funds... Another trilogy? I usually wait until they are all out before getting started - just not a fan of sitting around waiting for the next book!
Only 2 books in this one and the second one isn't out yet. Sometime this year I think.
It's The Rain Wild Chronicles - first one is "The Dragon Keeper" I liked it. It explores different classes / worlds within Bingtown & the Rain Wilds but it wasn't what I was expecting IYKWIM? I wanted more about Malta & Reyn & Seldon but they are entirely new characters, even Tintaglia the dragon is mostly absent. Its about the new dragons, and they people who help them.
