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

[mjs]

Robin Hobb is a true genius. I was first introduced to her work aboard a month-long trip on a fishing boat. A friend gave me the three Liveship Trader books to take with me. Needless to say, once I began the first one, I was completely useless until I'd finished the third one. When I returned to port, I bought all six of the Fitz books. I've reread all nine books at least three times and I keep finding new twists to the story lines that I missed the first few times! Ms. Hobb's character development is intricate and well rounded and she really makes you care for them - Fitz's misfortunes and misadventures moved me to tears more than once. I am waiting breathlessly for the new trilogy.
