I hang out on a Lord of the Rings forum where Hobb's books came up several times highly recommended. I felt uncomfortable reading a book called "Assassin's Apprentice", so I started with the Liveship Trilogy, loved it, then broke down and started AA, loved that too, and have been reading and rereading everything Hobbian I can get my hands on ever since. Currently re-reading Liveship Trilogy, which makes a lot more sense, now that I've read the Farseer trilogy.
But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails.
