Actually, I REALLY like that, joost - very poetic and clever! Hmm...I do also agree with AR in that the shared structure works well so I am finding it hard to make a choice that doesn't involve a coin toss.
Breaking it down, Robin said of 'The Inheritance' that it was the Lindholm inheritance that Hobb built on, so I just assumed that 'The Triumph' would represent the success Hobb then made, following on from that foundational inheritance. For me, it would only work though if it were to be the final collection...after all, what would satisfyingly come after a triumph?
'Grace Notes' could be a second instalment, and then 'The Triumph' could be a final volume? I'm sure Robin and Megan have enough short stories between them to fill another two...
I have finished 'The Inheritance' (I only had the Lindholm stories to read) but am a bit busy planning another trip, and need to digest everything before I make comment. At this stage, this is about all I can offer...
