Robin Hobb is a MUST read
My husband and I both read a lot so we often get books from the library. I read all three of the trilogies Robin (aka Megan Lindholm - both are pen names)has written and I have to say that they are the most amazing series I have ever read. That is why, after reading them I am buying them to always have. Most authors when writing about magic have a set of rules that the magic follows. Robins style is unique and subtle. She weaves a story like a master - you feel pulled into the world and are constantly hanging on every word to see what will happen next. These books are not written from one point of view, but many - each is different yet nothing is lost by the changes in perspective - on the contrary - each character is rich and complete. I have never had such a physical reaction to any other writing. Laughing, crying, cheering - and when I would finish one book I HAD to get the next. When I finished them all - I felt like I had been on the most amazing journey - one that I didn't want to end - like having the best vacation ever then having to go back to your every day life. This is not the usual genre my husband reads, but he had much of the same reactions. I guarantee you've never seen magic or dragons like the ones in these books. Start with the first and do them in order if you can. You won't be sorry.Read full review...
Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb
I stumbled upon these books at a library sale. I like the cover so I bought it. After reading several pages I realized that it was the second book it a trilogy so reluctantly I put it down and bought the first and last of the series. It is one of those books you can't put down and it calls to you when your not reading. I am a Stephen R Donaldson fan and have never found any other books to compare with his, but I think these books are close.Read full review...
