Emotions in the Elderling Realm (SPOILERS all books)

[Farseer]

Hi, wanted to say hello. I've just finished Dragon Haven after a good four months of reading all eleven RotE books and finally plucked up the courage to join and post as I feel I have a huge Hobb shaped gap in my life now that needs filling .

A little late to the party but well met and welcome to thePlenty, Relpda...I'm so glad you found your courage! Oh and, I agree, a terrific name!

On the lighter side the first scene that comes to mind is when Fitz wakes up next to Molly and realises that Nighteyes has ahem helped him out in that department or when Lord Golden gets really drunk in order to try it on with Civil and Fitz has to carry him back to his room. That and the scene following it in his room made me giggle. I'm sure there are alot more too, just can't think of them off the top of my head.

Yes, yes and yes! And you're right, there are just too many laugh-out-loud moments, though I think most of mine seem to have either Nighteyes, Fitz, Fool or Patience in them.

Just thinking on it, I'm not sure I got much comic relief through DK or DH (hmm?), though Grigsby the cat was good value and Rapskal's sheer innocence was grin-worthy a lot of the time. No doubt I'll be reminded when I reach my re-read...I only have a bit of F and all of LST and TM still to go...haha! The way I'm going, I won't get them done before CoD is released!!

Possibly I have said this somewhere before but Tag's reaction to Verity in AQ was a huge "Nawww" moment for me...there are so many things that happen up that Skill Road and in the quarry that are powerfully emotional for me! So many clues that stretch out to reach the future too!

As for husbands...if I could change mine, I'm sure you all can too. He went from being a total non-reader to actually wanting to read Hobb books and feeling good about having read such thick books (and not just doing it because I ranted!). It's only taken twenty or more years...but I got there...so don't give up yet.
