I hate the fact of her woman know better thinking in Nettle, while she is clueless herself.

What legend series? O.o There's another series besides the three?

[KiwiBird]

I am not sure, i think by legends she meant

either a book created for fundraising for some good cause where aknowledged writers wrote a piece in.
Hobb, Martin, Rowling,...
martin did the hedgeknight i think and rowling fantastic beasts and where to find them + something else

Or either a book from Megan Lindgrom (?!) - Hobb is just an alias after all
In wich she decribes the journey of the Elderlings i think.

Oh I see, thanks for sharing that info =] I thought being a Robin Hobb fan I should've known. I did know she writes under another name, Megan...have you read any of her books under that name?

There is this one called 'Wolf brother' which interests me (obviously reminded me of Nighteyes) but I couldn't get my hands on a copy yet.

I have read parts of the Eldering book, whilst i was in the library waiting for my next bus home.

It is written like a diary, like a logbook

Do you remember what the title of that book is called? Sorry if I'm being bothersome; I just really love her work.

[KiwiBird]

Nah, I'll check it up next week though when i am in Leuven (a city in Belgium where the library is)

[Kitera]

Thank you so very much Kiwi!!! I'm forever in your debt *bows deeply*

*does the happy dance*

[wolvepaw]

i fell in love with nighteyes

[Serin]

Nighteyes, but the partnership between him and Fitz makes it hard to choose just one.

[spartan_pwns]

i agree so much with serin =] i think i like the nighteyes/fitz combo the best. cauz i cant really just pick one

[Talysia]

I agree with Serin, too. The Nighteyes/Fitz partnership is one of the best things about the Farseer trilogy. From the Liveship Traders series, though, my favourite character was Paragon.

[Kitera]

Hmmm but I particularly loved the 'bond' between the Fool and Fitz as well as Fitz/Nighteyes. It made me angry when the Fool left and I cried when Nighteyes died.

It was a collection of short stories from fantasy authors called 'Legends II'. The story follows the creation of the Rain River Wilds settlement from the diary entries of one of the founders. It's quite good.

Thanks Somebloke! Much appreciated! It's a shame they don't have it over here in Australia.

Actually, you'd probably find it readily in any of the chains, and definitely in specialist SFF bookstores. I think I bought my copy from Big W when it first came out, though it'd long be gone from their shelves. I've got the trade, but I've seen the mass-market at a lot of places. Try your library, even, they'd surely have it, or could get it on an inter-library loan.
