Finally finished Ship of Destiny!
Despite reading it for literally two months because l wasn't that interested in the middle bits I gave it 5 stars on Storygraph. The last quarter just flew by and I fell in love with Hobb's writing all over again. I still don't agree with those who say they like this trilogy better than The Farseer, but I do kind of get it.
I can't wait to reread The Tawny Man trilogy now that I have the context of Amber's adventures in the mix!

Reading Ship of Destiny had been slow, so I'm only about halfway through. I got to the part where Selden is speaking to Tintaglia as she arrives to Bingtown and I can't help but think that Hobbs' dragons are like cats and how I'd imagine cats would like us to talk to them if they could tell us their preference.
"Oh magnificent one, your fur shines like the moon and the sun, your form is grace and beauty incarnate! Please bestow us the honour of doing your bidding in cleaning your toilet sand."

Mad Ship made me feel hopeful for this trilogy, but Ship of Destiny is dragging again and full of shitty entitled men as the main source of threat. My least favourite trope! The only correct amount of shitty entitled men in a series is one, and that only if they're killed by a slightly deranged ferret in the final book.
Wintrow is at least still interesting in all his tragic misery, whereas Althea and Brashen just make me want to skip all the parts they're in.
I even enjoyed Malta's parts before a shitty, entitled man happened. :'(

420 of 445 hours of audiobook listening in to the entirety of #RobinHobb's Realm Of The Elderlings Trilogies.
(Farseer, Live Ship Traders, Tawny Man, Rainwild Chonicles, Fitz and The Fool)
The narrator for the Fitz and The Fool trilogy has consistently said 'Live Ship' as 'liv ship' not 'lIve ship' over a hundred times.If I had taken a shot a time in the last 5 chapters alone I'd be dead.
If you can be correct with 'Aslevjal' you can manage Live Ship. It's not like it makes sense the other way.
Aside from that, great narration work all round, I love the series and it's as fun listening as it was reading.
Passing character accent notes between trilogies would have been cool, but trad pub doesn't have a handle on narrator consistency yet (still?), and a pronunciation guide.And giving the narrator a pronunciation guide.

Finally finished The Mad Ship! It was an easier read than Ship of Magic, probably at least partly because the edition had a bigger front, but moreso because everything wasn't so damn shitty for the characters all the time.
There's so many POV characters that I don't really feel attached to any of them, and I don't really agree with how some of the character arcs were done, just didn't feel genuine, but I look forward to reading what happens in the Ship of Destiny!

Ship of Magic is approaching it's end and Wintrow's fate has me convinced that Hobb not-so-secrectly enjoys the torture of young boys.
He hasn't quite reached Fitz-levels of fuckuppery but there's still two whole books' worth of time.

Realm of the Elderlings: The Data Science Edition
I previously wrote a spoiler-free overview, a series by series reading experience report, and a deep dive into the book series Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb.

Realm of the Elderlings: A deep dive
After I gave a a spoiler free overview of the Realm of the Elderlings, as well as a very long series by series review and reading experience report, I want to analyze some aspects of this series as a whole (but mostly regarding the books with Fitz as the main character). In this post, Iโll dive deep into the characters and themes of the series.

Realm of the Elderlings: Series by series reviews and reading experience
How was it to read The Realm of the Elderlings? After my spoiler-free overview in the previous post, this post will contain more in-depth reviews which were largely written as StoryGraph reviews as I was reading each book, and then later assembled here into a coherent post.
Some books or sub-series were definitely a lot easier to read than others. Each was a somewhat different experience, [โฆ]

Realm of the Elderlings: A spoiler free overview
Never in my life before have I undergone such a monumental task as reading a 16 book series. Iโve read a book series here and there, mostly though with only 3 books or in rare cases, up to 7 or 9. This achievement is a first for me, but hopefully not the last.
The series Iโm writing about is The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb. Her novels were recommended to me by friends and [โฆ]

Some people cite J.R.R. Tolkien as the opposite of George R.R. Martin when it comes to finishing books. Which is funny if you actually know anything about Tolkien.
These people mistakenly think that Lord of the Rings is a trilogy just because it often gets printed in three volumes. LOTR is of course the sequel to The Hobbit and there were seventeen years between these publications.
The rest of Tolkien's Middle Earth books were published after his death, many in a series appropriately titled Unfinished Tales.
If you actually want an example of an author of a fantasy series with an impressive output then Robin Hobb should be on top of the list. Between 1995 and 2017 she published 16 books in her Realm of the Elderlings series.

Fitz and the Fool [Omnibus] - #RobinHobb
> Vengeance took no account of innocence or right. It was the chain that bound horrific events together, that decreed that one awful act must beget another worse one that would lead to yet a third. It came to me, slowly, that this chain would never end.

Fitz and the Fool [Omnibus] - #RobinHobb
