Assassin's Apprentice: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

Repost for @PuddleJumper

This is the first planned reading schedule for #RealmofElderlings

I‘m giving 2 months for books over 500 pages which is pretty much all of them! This means it will take about 2 years to get through the entire series.

We'll be starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February, there will be a buddy read and readalong on SG and I'll post start, mid, end posts on Litsy

It could change depending on how people find it.

Luke-XVX Tempting ! 2w

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX Join us! See how many times we collectively spell assassin wrong 😂

All the SG will remain open/visible. Even if you don't read along, I think you can still see the comments 2w

Luke-XVX I did read Ship of Magic last year so I could feasibly skip that one. I do have Storygraph but I haven‘t used it enough to “get” it (edited) 2w

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX You don't need to use SG. I'll post things here as well which will hopefully include discussions

I like the SG features because they are aimed more towards that kind of thing 2w

Luke-XVX Count me in! I haven‘t done an online Bookclub before 2w

Ruthiella Awesome. I appreciate the pacing as well! These are long books and there‘s a lot to take in with each one. 2w

PuddleJumper @Luke-XVX Great! I'll add you to the list 2w

PuddleJumper @Ruthiella Yeah, a month would be pushing it for a lot of people and you can't rush these ones. I remember them being packed with stuff 2w

majkia Looking forward to a revisit. It'll be traumatic.... 2w

PuddleJumper @majkia So very traumatic. I think I cry a lot during the first book 2w

wanderinglynn Yay! Can‘t wait! 2w

Enchanted_Bibliophile I've been meaning to read these books forever, so this is the perfect kick I need to get it done! I've never done a BC on SG, but am excited to learn 2w

Larkken Ive always wanted to try SG for buddy reads and I've never finished all of these! I may join 2w

Laughterhp I‘ve only read the first book and I remember really loving it. I‘ll give it a try again this year since I‘ve been better recently about continuing series! 2w

PuddleJumper @Enchanted_Bibliophile I like that SG is geared towards discussion and commentary. Buddy reads are my favourite because i can react as I read 2w

PuddleJumper @Larkken I really like the buddy reads on SG. I like seeing people's comments as they read 2w

PuddleJumper @Laughterhp I'm more likely to read if I can talk about things with people. I remember having a lot of feelings about these books 🤣 2w

kelli7990 I want to join. It‘s been a long time since I‘ve read a fantasy series. The last fantasy series I read was A Song Of Ice And Fire but I read it with The Catchup Book Club on social media. I‘ve heard that these books are really good and I want to see what the hype is all about. I‘ve never buddy read a book series on Litsy before. 2w

PuddleJumper @kelli7990 I definitely think it helps reading with other people. I love the series but they can be a bit intimidating, they are so long! 2w

daena May I join in! This sounds wonderful. 2w

PuddleJumper @daena Of course! I'll add you to the list and if you're on SG the book club is here https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf 2w

daena Great. I just joined the SG group. 2w

Royal Assassin: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

so-so

Okay I liked the first book in this series, this one I really didn‘t, with all that happened to the main character it was a little over the top. I tried, I really tried to get to “like” but I just couldn‘t. I know this is a popular series and I‘m trying to figure out why. the abuse is over the top and there should be some type of goal…if he can‘t get to where he needs to go. I think my biggest issue is, if he‘s an assassin how is he always caught?

CoverToCoverGirl All valid questions. I‘m not a fantasy reader at all but these came highly recommended to me. I loved them and have read the first three books. Fitz‘s struggle is very real, ugly and harsh. To me it had a very medieval atmosphere, and the Wit and the Skill were just plausible enough for me buy into the storyline and I especially loved Nighteyes. As readers we can‘t like everything, even if it is a popular series. 2mo

Ddzmini @CoverToCoverGirl yes I agree and I have to say there have been time were I go back and reread a book and get a whole different feel so I‘m not getting rid of the books it‘s just I‘ll have to reread them in the future and see if I change my mind on it 1mo

pick

I didn‘t love Royal Assassin quite as much as I enjoyed Assassin‘s Apprentice. I think it suffered from a little bit of second book syndrome. And Fitz got on my nerves. But I still enjoyed the atmosphere and setting. Fitz is still young here so there‘s room for development. I‘m still going to continue the series but I‘m going to take a break to start book three with a fresh perspective.

Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1) | Robin Hobb

bailed

1/5⭐ I was willing to give it a chance despite not connecting with the characters but stopped 10% in at the casual pet murder and an idiot adult expecting a 6 year old to understand what he was talking about without any explanation. #roll100

Assassin's Quest: The Farseer Trilogy | Robin Hobb

pick

Well, that was quite a ride! Robin Hobb is an incredible storyteller (as a rarely-reads fantasy, big books or series reader, I‘ve finished the trilogy in 9 months, which is quite bizarre!). She‘s just kept pulling me back in. And (eventually) we even got dragons.

Time for a few months away, but I‘ll definitely be back to this world and (presumably.some of) these characters.

rockpools Special mention to Paul Boehmer for incredible, never-any-question-who‘s-speaking narration, even at double speed for 39 hours! 1y

TrishB So glad you‘ve enjoyed it ♥️ the next trilogy is as good! 1y

rockpools @TrishB Gah. What have you done to me?! So, which IS the next series? (I may save it for next year tho) 1y

TrishB Ahhhhh, here is the crux of the matter. Fans are split on this. Do you want to read in a linear order or do you want to read the Fitz and the Fool follow ups? Then go back and read the others set in the same world. 🤔 1y

rockpools @TrishB Huh. I KNEW there was a reason I didn‘t know the answer already! I kind of feel like F+F have reached a good pause point - I wasn‘t even sure if their stories continued - so I might try something else. Possibly. 1y

TrishB Liveship Trader trilogy is next in linear order. F&F have 2 more trilogies. 1y

rockpools @TrishB 👍 Thank you! I might try Liveship Trader next. And I might change my mind by the time I get to it! 1y

RaeLovesToRead Read Liveships next would be my advice! I'm on the 1st book of the second Fitz trilogy now after reading Liveships. Liveships was amazing and it feels right reading them in order. 1y

RaeLovesToRead When I read Assassin's Quest I gave it 3 stars in protest because I was like THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS END, but I should revisit that because there are like another 5 books 🤣🤣 1y

Centique Well done you! This is how far I‘ve read too. I seem to really like starting trilogies but i take a long time finishing them! 1y
