Bit later than I'd intended, but here's a quick review of the second entry in Fitz and the Fool:

Alarmingly quickly after finishing the first book (reviewed here ) I polished off the second in this third trilogy by Robin Hobb. I’ll keep ...

The Blues all the way to Science Fiction?
The recent BBC programme on the latest discovery about Stonehenge has had a lot of people talking. I haven’t had chance to watch it, but it is about the discovery of the site where blue stone…

Great review.
@The Big Peat Thanks for that. I think The Tombs of Atuan is my favourite of Le Guin's books. (Though she has some awesome short stories, too.)
Haven't blogged in ages. On why I don't think I quite get this being-a-Northern-Irish-writer lark

Look on the bright side - there's a chance you get to help redefine what Northern Irish is all about!
Have you read many of her non-Earthsea books? I keep thinking I need to get to them, but don't know how they stack up.
I've read a couple of her scifi novels, the ones based around the idea of humans being seeded across the galaxy by a race called the Hain. The only one I really remember is The Left Hand of Darkness, which is definitely worth a read. Even though I can't bring others to memory, I don't recall any major disappointments. I also really liked her short story collection The Compass Rose. 'The Author of the Acacia Seeds' is probably my favourite short story ever by anyone, though the collection as a whole is more literary with scifi/fantasy elements in a secondary role.

The Runaway Novel
Or should I say the run-awry novel? Well in a sense it is both! I recently started my follow-on novel to the one that is currently doing the agent rounds. Although things have moved on a little sin…

Oh dear, I almost feel sorry for Seriuz! @HareBrain
Oh dear is right -- I read that blog post a few days ago, went through it to see if I knew any character names and had read the stories in which they appear, and failed to recognise my own!
