I totally, totally agree with all of this! In my opinion, Liveship works well as third person because we need to have intimate knowledge of everyone's motives, take the Rain Wilders, or Kennit, or Malta for example... If we didn't get a real close look at their motives and their individual...

Yea, I also agree with you, Ratsy: Especially in the case of Fitz. What you see through Hobb's eyes in Fitz are his innermost thoughts and feelings. Like nigigi says, we all have worries and complaints in our minds, but what counts is what we do about them. Fitz's actions, although sometimes...

Hmm, just looked again at his profile on IMDB, and it does not show him off well at all! He looks a lot different now... Also, liking the idea of Cate Blanchett for Kettricken, I thought Gwynnie had a slightly better Kettricken "look", but she's not strong-willed enough really, so Cate would...

Hehehe loving these comments guys... Xoanon, you're totally right about the age thing for Fitz, the Fool and Minnie Driver... I must admit, I just couldn't think of ANYONE who would work any better in any of those parts. I thought Jamie Bell had a pretty good "look" for a teenaged Fitz, and...

Good call, Rothgar: Kennit is most definitely the most complex and interesting character in lots of ways. But I'm going to have to go with the Fool from this list. I love ambiguity and mystery!! Shadow xx

Hmmm I just found the old old thread about this (2007) and was interested to hear others' ideas... I like the idea of Tilda Swinton for the Fool... But maybe it should be portrayed as a man as the Fool and as a woman for Amber, just to show that it is the other characters' perception that is...

I think that, as the Fool is not human, he may well be neither gender as we know it. I think of his personality as being more effeminite man than woman, but that it was easy enough for him to pick up the "guise" of a woman as Amber. However, Amber DOES seem to have an intricate knowledge of...

My boyfriend has just started reading the Farseer Trilogy, and hopes to go on and read all of the Hobb books (as I have). We were having some fun today and came up with what we think is a super cool cast list for the main characters from the Farseer Trilogy... I'd love to hear opinions...

So then, you must've read the Farseer books with Amber already set in your mind as another character.... As you got to know the Fool, did you see any connection there at all? Or did it not even occur to you until Tawny Man? :)

Thanks!! :)

I feel for you in a way.... I read them out of order too (I read Farseer, then Tawny Man, then went back for Liveship) I had to make three attemtps to get into Liveship Traders, but once I was well adn truly hooked, nothing would've stopped me. I'm now about two chapters from the end, and it...

Hi all, I first picked up Assassin's Aprentice in the library on a random offchance, and was immediately entranced... I sped through the Farseer trilogy and absolutely adored it. Then I looked online for the reading order of the rest of Robin Hobb's works, and saw that the Liveship Traders...

I assume this thread is concerned with the wold in which Farseer, Liveship Traders and Tawny Man are set. Although it'd be very interesting once Soldier Son is finished to see a poll of all four..... My wager is that not many people would vote Soldier Son over the other three.... am I wrong...

ERM...... That is NOT Fitz! Just cos he has a scar and some white hair! There is SO much wrong with your assumption that that could be Fitz.... How would he get so far south, and why would he be on Claw Island at all, let alone working as a city guardsman??! Also, Fitz is a cool guy and...
