"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[NeverBeenWise]

Hello! I'm from the US. I'm so happy to have found this!

I just got interested in Robin Hobb's work a few months ago when I read Assassin's Apprentice. I stopped reading for a while, then recently I read Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest... and loved them (and the Fool) so much that I had to go out and buy Fool's Errand and Golden Fool. Sadly, the store was sold out of copies of Fool's Fate. I read from Royal Assassin to Golden Fool in about... a week? And then was so antsy for another week that I begged my dad to take me to Barnes and Noble so I could find the last book.

All told, I think I read the books (not counting the weeks of waiting to get them) in about two weeks. I skipped over Liveships because I didn't know that the Fool was in them, and now I'm kicking myself...

So yes, I'm obsessed. Happily so. And now I'm happy because I have to finish re-reading The Tawny Man, and then start reading Liveships, and then read the WHOLE SERIES over again in order. And rejoice every time there is the subtlest mention of love between Fitz and the Fool.

Um... sorry.... Heh heh heh. Enough about the awesomeness that is the Realm of the Elderlings. I'm 18, a girl (yes, another one), and I absolutely adore my two cats. I speak English and Spanish and am learning Greek and Swedish. And I made a character on a roleplaying site for a completely different world who was based on the Fool, though I had to change him quite a bit... and I've been going on Omegle convincing people that I'm a 19-year-old boy named Golden. SO much fun.

Whoops. This turned out to be a huge rant about the depth of my obsession. Sorry about that.
