#MoisDeLImaginaire - Jour 6 - Autrice
Megan Lindholm, alias Robin Hobb
Robin Hobb est le pseudonyme de Megan Lindholm, forgé pour éviter le stéréotype lié aux autrices Fantasy. Son œuvre majeure est L’Assassin Royal qui fête cette année ses 30 ans.
Roman d’apprentissage suivant Fitz, le héros, dans un univers riche, peuplé de chevaliers, de pirates et de magie.#MastoLivre #FédiLivre #RobinHobb #AssassinRoyal #HeroicFantasy #SFFF
1/3 -
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.

Today's purchase is Assassin's Apprentice, volume 2 of the @darkhorse.com #GraphicNovels of @robinhobb.bsky.social's Farseer trilogy. 😍 I'm about to read both volumes. This is one of my favourite #book series. 💙📚 #Farseer #RobinHobb #BookSky #FantasyBooks #books #avidreader #bookworm

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.

I am rereading the #RealmOfTheElderlings series by #RobinHobb. It is of course one the greatest #Fantasy series ever written. I finished the #Farseer trilogy and am on #LiveshipTraders.
This is mostly spoiler free.
There is a character named Kyle Haven who is quite unlikable. Hobb does a good job of making us understand his motivations. We know how he sees himself as the hero of his own story but that does not really make me emphasize with him.
Kyle Haven is a mundane villain but somehow that makes him even worse. He is the sort of person who bullies the people around him to make himself feel more important and convinces himself that he is actually doing them a favor. I think we've all known people like that.

Assassin's Quest - #RobinHobb
> She sat there most of the night, knitting loudly and peering at him disapprovingly.

After 20-something years and 16 books, I finally reached the end of #RobinHobb's #Farseer books. They're easily my favourite fantasy series, and one that should be more well-known (TV adaptations can be superfluous, but I'd love to see one made from these books, just so I can revisit the story again).
Pro tip: don't read the ending in public, unless you want everyone to see you reduced to a blubbering mess. 😭 🐺🃏🐲🗡️🐝
Assassin's Fate - Robin Hobb

I've been absolutely obsessed with Robin Hobb's Farseer books lately. I'm halfway through book 2. Fantastic worldbuilding and character development. The main character is a very realistic young person, with all the frustrations, heartbreak, and possible unreliable narrator that comes with that.
I've heard people complain these books are slow but I'm not feeling that, I'm loving every minute spent with these characters & world.

Had a really fruitive evening yesterday and my morning today was likewise.
Will be invited to a friends birthday party and also join a online #RPG group he's organizing. I always wanted to try that tbh. 🥰
Additionally, I continued reading the first book of the #Farseer #trilogy of #RobinHobb (nearly 80% now) and also read the #Silmarillion chapters assigned for the month of March by the Tea with Tolkien society.

The world of #RobinHobb's #FarseerTrilogy comes to #comics in the spirited adaptation by #JodyHouser and #RyanKelly.

@Alexis_WordsUnbound A friend of mine wrote "Ironcraft", a #fantasy inspired partly by Jewish mythology, if you're looking for a different kind of fantasy. It's available on Amazon. Cover checks out, too. https://www.amazon.com/Ironcraft-Chronicles-Dumah-Pedro-Gabriel-ebook/dp/B09B8Q3C59
There's also the #WheelOfTime series, and I'm currently enjoying #RobinHobb 's #Farseer trilogy. Both good if you want something that has stood the test of time.
