Rating: - Brilliant
All I'll say is that this series is a must read. The character development is brilliant and complex, so much so that even 'bit-part' characters have hugely complex personalities. There are ideas that may be difficult to grasp, but I found Hobb's writing style was easy to read, and very pleasing on the imagination.

Rating: - poor read
The author tried to pack as many idea into three books as possible without bothering if any of it makes any sense. The overall plot would have neatly fitted into one book and in all fairness: the first book had it's flaws but was a very good read.

Robin Hobb has a knack of treating her characters that makes you burn with the injustice that life has thrown at them; ... Read More

Rating: - The trials and tribulations of the Fitz
Book 2 of the Farseer trilogy continues Fitz's life of trouble and strife, pain and suffering, torment and injustice. It's a great tribute to Robin Hobb's writing and story telling skills that she can make you want to read a tale that's so full of loss and misery. The trick is that her characters are alive, with depth of personality. The villains are irredeemably wicked so that the reader is frustrated with impotence at not being able to get in there and sort them out, give them what they deserve. ... Read More
