But so many of the characters are also high on the list, Nighteyes, Burrich, Kettricken, Web are all up there. Fitz frustrates me at times and there has been more then one occasion when my husband has heard me moaning "Oh Fitz, why??" even on the re-reads when I know what's going to happen.
I'll confine myself to characters from the Assassin Trilogy as I need to reread the others to be up to speed for comments.
My favourites are:
Nighteyes - he's so practical and uncomplicated.
The Fool - well, it's obvious really.
Lacey - lethal with those needles. Reminds me of my Grandma
And I agree with you, Apricot, about both Kettricken (a fine female character) and Fitz (can be SO annoying and couldn't be more unlike Nighteyes if he tried. Maybe that's why they meld so well?)
But Robin Hobb's characters are all pretty well wonderfully developed. We even get to know the minor ones quite well.
"Someday is someday, and maybe it will be or maybe it won't. This is a human thing, to worry about things that may or may not come to be. You can't eat meat until you've killed it." Nighteyes
