I was looking up something on Amazon.com and saw this Amazon.com: A Dance with Dragons (Song of Ice and Fire): George R.R. Martin: Books Which as you can see states A Dance with Dragons release date as September 30th (my birthday!) and allows you to pre-order it, I wasn't sure when this info...

I loved Robin Hobbs Assassin/Liveship/Tawny books, they are on the top of my list of all time favorites, but I could not get into the Soldier's Son books, I read the first one, really did not like it, and got halfway through the second one and stopped, I didn't even bother buying the third one...

I agree about the pictures, but that is a great article! Thank you for sharing.

I had a very hard time getting into the Liveship books as well, but the Tawny books were not out already so I pushed through Liveship because that's all there was, and I figured it out when Amber carved the ship to look like Fitz. That was a pretty dead give away for me. I also had weird...

Ahh, I have so many, most of them by Dumbledore or Fred and George, but this is one that is at the top of my blog, "It is important to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then can evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated." - Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. The...

You could also include in her list of works the short story "Homecoming" which is in the book “Legends II: New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy.” Its a very good story, set in the Rain Wilds, I loved it.

Hmm, I got Ravenclaw first, then Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and lastly Slytherin. Is it just me or does Ravenclaw seem to be getting the most results on this thread, closely followed by Hufflepuff? Not that that's a bad thing, I just wish I knew more imaginative Ravenclaws in real life! Interesting...

I know this is long, sorry about that. Ok, right after I read the 6th Harry Potter book I went straight into denial, because how could Dumbledore be dead, right? Plus, there were signs that made me think he was going to reappear, like the fact that his tomb burst into flames (a...

It's funny you just posted this (well, within the last day or so) because a couple hours ago I finished Fool's Fate and found the quote you first mentioned! I remembered this thread and made a note of it and came on here and saw this thread back at the top. You’re right, its Chapter 30...

I would love if she wrote a book about the Fool, his past, his present, anything (more about the Whites?) although I would love it even more if she put Fitz in there somehow. I felt really dissatisfied with the ending of “Fool’s Fate.” After 6 books of their unique friendship and it ended like...

Honestly I probably wouldn't like it if these books were made into a movie (movies, series), once a book is made into a movie then whenever I reread it (which I will if its one of my favorites, which the Hobb books are), I can't picture them as anything but the actors who played them. That's...

Ok, this is gonna be long, cause I like writing a little too much but I am also too tired to go edit this and make it smaller. I got into Hobb because a girl I met at the school I had just moved to asked what books I liked, since I was always reading, and she told me about Hobb. Since all...

If any of that is mentioned in any of the books, Farseer or Tawny Man (or Liveship), then I don't recall it at all. I’ve read both the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies multiple times and the Liveship Trader books twice, and I think I would remember something like that. It is Wikipedia, and...

Easily the Fool, I love him, he's my all-time favorite fantasy character from any author or series ever. I fell in love with him right in the first book and he was even better in the Tawny Man triology. Amber was the only reason I read the Liveship books. However, he’s very closely...

Part of me really wants to know the answer, but the majority of me doesn’t, because like it's been previously stated, that's part of the Fool's mystery. However, whenever I mention or think of the Fool I call him, well, a him. I also agree with The Faery Queen, in that I myself prefer...

Recently I decided I wanted to reread all the Fitz books for the umpteenth time, and went through the first two of the Farseer Trilogy (I can’t find my copy of the first book) and am now onto The Tawny Man Trilogy. Just yesterday I finished “Golden Fool” and today started “Fool’s Fate”, and...
