If you've read Farseer and LiveShip I've got a question

[talloakslady]

..."I want characters with depth and tragic flaws."... That is really true; multifaceted characterizations are what really grabbed hold of my attention when I began reading the series of books. Mervi had mentioned them to me some time ago, and only this winter, when I began public transit to work, did I have the time to read more often. The Farseer was so wonderfully amazing. Then, I went on to this series at Terie's suggestion.
Last evening I finished the first of this series; some of the discomforture I'd felt vanished, but I still am at odds with Althea and her hopes to regain Vivacia.
Hobb is truly a master writer.
