| Re: Am I reading Hobb wrong?
I am reading the first book of Farseer right now.
Its a two faced beast. Most of the time its so hard to get through,so slow and not really happens for many pages. I cant say i like the dairy style and how she use it. Fitz must tell us everything he see, alittle overkill.
But then sometimes things happen like when he learned the assassin stuff and did work for Chade and the King. Only the promise of him actually doing anything than feeling sorry for himself the bastard is what keeps me going. That he will do something with the Skill and his assassin skills to help his kingdom is onyl why i keep reading.
I really hope the second book is amazing, i have feeling the end will suck in this one surely it will be a cliffhanger. I have about a 100 pages left.
About Martin i read 20-50 pages of A Game of Thrones in the Library , i have no idea what his series is about but i can see clearly in his writing that he has so much better prose that isnt so slow and dry as Hobb. Its good to have something like that to look forward to.
If the second book is as the first one. I will forget that Hobb and this series even existed. |
