Upcoming Hobb YA Novel?

[Farseer]

Thought as much, thanks Mervi!

As for YA books by Robin Hobb, my boys read the RotE books that were available at the time during their junior secondary years (around the age of fifteen) and enjoyed them thoroughly. While there is sex etc in the books, it is no more or less than what they would find in many books considered to be YA books. My eldest studied Tomorrow When the War Began in Year Eight English and the Tales of the Otori series a year or so later, and we share an open and communicative relationship, so I had no problems with my sons reading the books in this regard.

Of course, the on-going rape scenes/themes of rape would likely keep it out of reach of YA (?) though these themes I also openly discussed with my sons...and actually found them good and timely opportunities to share the consequences of such actions to boys who would soon be men.

I think Robin could do a YA novel well. My daughter and I really enjoyed her story for younger readers, Unicorn in the Maze.

Again, possibly the excitement caused from all of this conjecture may give Robin an idea to get started on a YA novel or, even better, a series.
