Yeah I'm the same, but when I haven't read them for a while it's definitely Liveships that sticks out in my memory as the best read, along with Assassin's Apprentice. My initial reaction to the new book is that it's on a similar level to AA. Will have to wait and see how I think of it in a couple of months time though!

I saw/read you) she said, that she continued the story the way, she originally intended to and not make it suitable to the many wishes of her readers. I’m soooo glad for that. All this blabla about an unfitting end for Fitz and that he should have been king and wasn’t honoured enough and should live happily together with the fool etc.. really gets on my nerves. I think we should trust, that Robin knows best about the whishes of Fitz. She knows him much longer than we do.
Haha yeah I was Yeah mee too, I've spoken to a few people who are really upset about the bits they've been spoilered on, but personally I just want the characters to feel like themselves. Hobb can take the plot wherever she wants, it's been great so far

I thought I might wait until at least the second book is out and I'm satisfied just to look at it in my bookshelf, but I fear, I will not have the strength. But waiting is also awful. Mr. Martin ist already overcharging my Patience
Cool Yeah I would never be able to do that, I have an even worse problem in that when I'm enjoying a book it takes me about a day to read. I try to pace myself so that I can enjoy it for as long as possible, but it just doesn't work...
Funny, I've never read any Martin. Just never appealed to me for some reason!
