Gernia vs RotE *spoilers all Hobb books*

[Luckheart]

While I did like the Gernia universe, and history (specially the militaristic nature of it), I must say I didn't quite enjoy our main character being the underdog in such a manner for almost the entire series; with Fitz I found despite him constantly being the underdog, he (almost) always had his self-belief and a certain determination behind him.
Other than my preferences in main characters, I must say I like the RotE universe more - maybe thats just because there is more of it at this stage
Obviously this is just a personal opinion, but even so; I'd like to see more books in the Gernia universe; perhaps a prequel involving the wars Gernia was involved in ?
