Set Sytes Why Set loves this book

Well this looks like it'll be a very happy series where the protagonist has a good life and everything goes his way.

I'd initially skipped the Fitz trilogy, jumping straight to the Liveship Traders - which was fantastic - but decided to go back and start the Realm of the Elderlings from the beginning. What a brilliant start, rich with emotion and characterisation like only Robin Hobb can do. I look forward to continuing and reading the entire saga.

Set Sytes Why Set loves this book

The first book, The Stone Knife, immediately became one of my favourite fantasy reads. But then I'm biased - Mesoamerican fantasy is absolutely my jam and it's so rare to find. The series is criminally unsung. It straddles the line perfectly between grimdark/brutal tragedy and hope/love/goodness. While the second book, The Jaguar Path, didn't blow me away as much as the first - quite normal for follow-ups, when we're already attuned to the world and now have Expectations and Frustrations - it's still a fantastic story and world with deeply compelling plotlines. There are harrowing, bewildering mysteries and cliffhangers in this book - and I really need the answers to them!
