Which series is your favorite?

[greedo]

I liked the Farseer and the Liveship trilogies the most, maybe because i'm young myself.
I don't like that coming back to a "dead" world thing that the Tawny man is about. It's not that i hadn't enjoyed those, but it's lost that kind of magic that the others had. We knew too much about the world, the Fool and Chade... I wanted themto stay mysterious.

Tough question, but I have to say it's the Tawny Man trilogy. It was, for me, the most emotionally rending. I genuinely knew and empathized with the characters to such an extent that my heart broke at each new development in that series. That requires a very talented writer.

what about soldier son? Is that not a series by Robin Hobb?

It is, but I think this is more a discussion on completed series' rather than works still in progress.

My favourite out of the three is probably Liveship Traders, which surprised me by being much better than I had expected when I first picked it up.

It's easily the Farseer Trilogy for me. The series wrenched at my gut to the point where it felt like what was happening to Fitz was happening to me. I can still remember a few of the scenes vividly in my mind - Burrich beating up Fitz's teacher at the Stones, Fitz seeing Burrich make love to Molly, Verity sitting in his chair, exhausted from Skilling. - and of course, Fitz's relationship with Nighteyes.

I assume this thread is concerned with the wold in which Farseer, Liveship Traders and Tawny Man are set. Although it'd be very interesting once Soldier Son is finished to see a poll of all four..... My wager is that not many people would vote Soldier Son over the other three.... am I wrong there?


I don't think I could choose between these three series to be perfectly honest!!! I loved each one the most as I was reading them!!!

I chose the Farseer Trilogy, becasue that was the one that started it all off, I was hooked within the first page and not many books do that for me!

Now thats a hard question i said farseer maily because it was the book in which fitz met nighteyes but tawny man is a very close second i love both adult fitz and younger fitz and really love the tawny man ending it was nicely done i remember not wanting to finish it coz there is no other after it but i dont think it could have ended any better.

I would have to say Tawny Man series for me as well. I love the relationship between the Fool and Fitz. I like the adult Fitz better than I did the young one. I still haven't read Liveships yet. I will, since a lot of people said it was a good series, but Tawny Man was my favorite.
