This review is from: Golden Fool: Book 2 of The Tawny Man (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the best books i've ever read, one of the best series I've ever read. Hobb is a fantastic storyteller.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Golden Fool: Book 2 of The Tawny Man (Mass Market Paperback)

Each and every book of this series has been outstanding. The people are real, the story well thought out. Finally we see the connection between the Farseer books and the Liveship Traders. I clued in just before I read about the Fool. Alhough there is so much more Ms Hobb an do to expand on the middle trilogy. Based on what I have read so far of Ms Hobb's, I will buy whatever she writes. Although she says she will not write more of this world unless there is a real story to write ... I hope that happens. There is a whole series just on the return of the Elderlings! Anyway. Oustanding book. Outstanding series. Outsdtanding writer. Can't wait to read the next one, although I do it with a heavy heart if it's the last.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fitz stays true to himself-- frustrating and very human., April 13 2004

This review is from: Golden Fool: Book 2 of The Tawny Man (Mass Market Paperback)

Hobb is consistently such a good fantasy writer and this book is not an exception to that rule. It isn't her best, which is why I'm giving it four stars instead of five, but I'm impressed at the number of books that she's managed to write while still keeping me enthusiastically attached to the series. I was actually pretty seriously disappointed that the final book in the trilogy won't be released in paperback for another six months.

People have pointed out that this is a character development book, and that's clearly true. But there isn't anything wrong with that and endless saga writers like Rober Jordan should take a lesson about how it's done.

I picked up the first of this series thinking I was in for a treat. After finishing the first, I wasn't particularly happy with how things were turning out, but I figured things... Read more
