I know this one isn't officially part of the #RealmOfElderlings read-a-long.
However, after discovering the Piebald Prince in Assassin's Quest and realizing there's a short story about him, I simply had to find out more.
As with everything I've read by Hobb this is a well tailored little tale of the first Witted Prince to take a short rule over the Six Duchies.

5th stop on my DC #IndependentBookstoreDay tour was Second Story Books in Dupont, which is DC‘s oldest used bookstore, founded in 1973.
Since this was bookshop no. 5 for me, I got a gift—a Second Story pin & notebook.
I‘m at 10k+ steps and it‘s only 1:30. That‘s 5 hours of glorious bookshop browsing.
There‘s 1 more bookshop I want to hit, but first a stop at home to eat & rest for a minute.
pickRealm of the Elderlings prequel novella about the Farseer bloodline. Can be read without prior knowledge of the realm. Reads like a fairytale, but a pretty bleak one. As can be expected from Robin Hobb.
pickIt was fun sinking back into Robin Hobb‘s world of the Rain Wilds, rejoining dragons and keepers for book 2 in this series.
The dragons selfish and childish behavior at the beginning had me rolling my eyes, but the characters and setting and Hobb‘s writing quickly absorbed me. I think book 3 is in my near future.

pickI‘m not really sure how I feel about this book, the characters or the series to be honest.
It may not be for everyone but it is a complex, intricate and intelligent story.

This is an occasional series that I have with this video revived on my channel where I discuss words and expressions I encounter in my reading, doing deep etymological dives, and geeking out.

There's drama, cunning and at the heart of all; of course there's Love.
