I got to your post here on page 1 of this thread and I can't go any further!!!
If you love RH's novels so much then you are doing yourself a massive disservice by NOT reading the Liveship Traders. As much as I love love love Fitz and the Fool, the Liveship Traders trilogy is, by far, my favorite RH work. Also, you can't think of these books in this world as separate trilogies. At all.
There are 13 books in total, and they MUST be read in order. You have skipped books 4, 5 & 6. It is such a HUGE part of the entire story, including a lot of events that happen to Fitz/Fool in Tawny Man!! Trust me.
Put down City of Dragons. Put it all down. Go back from the beginning and read it in order. This just hurts me.
But, you know.. welcome to ThePlenty.
