Achevé à l'instant en diagonale par paquets de 10 pages, Alien Earth de #MeganLindholm aka #RobinHobb.

Ennui profond mais surtout déception, car jusqu'au bout j'ai espéré des hypothèses et spéculations geo-écologiques, biologiques, politiques, socio-techniques et scientifiques sur cette Terre laissée à elle-même durant quelques milliers d'années - de la #sciencefiction quoi, juste un peu...

Mais non, ce n'est qu'une fable, un roman à thèse en décors SF. Et même si j'aime bien la thèse, ce n'est pas ce que j'attends d'un roman...

@kevie @theplentynet I'm a little surprised that none of this has been licensed to be made into a TV series or movie... but also, I'm quite happy it's not, because the books are super.

Been (slowly!) working my way through the Farseer Trilogy of books and really love diving in to the world that Robin Hobb (Megan Lindholm) created. 🐺 ⚔️

⚠️ No spoilers, please! I'm not done reading yet. 📚️

BUT, on seeking out a wiki to read up a little more on the Realm of the Elderlings, was pleased to see that @theplentynet have a Mastodon account too. 💪

L'Assassin royal, tome 5 : La voie magique
Le roi Vérité est vivant ! Il a imposé une ultime mission à Fitz: "Rejoins-moi !"
Loin sur les sentiers mystérieux de l'Art, au-delà du royaume des montagnes, le jeune homme se met en quête pour répondre à l'appel de son souverain affaibli. Mais il reste seul, pourchassé par les forces de Royal, l'usurpateur, et sans possibilité de compter sur ses propres alliés, qui le manipulent comme un simple pion.
Or d'autres forces sont en marche... Dans son périple, Fitz va en effet se voir révéler son véritable statut : c'est par lui que s'accomplira, ou sera réduit à néant...

Book review: The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb

I loved Hobbs beautiful and introspective writing style; her world and character building; and her depiction of themes such as loneliness, otherness and powerlessness. Most of all, I loved the depiction of the interconnectedness of all life through the magical Wit bond between the protagonist and the wolf. All in all highly recommended.

Robin Hobb -
- Fool's Errand
- Golden Fool
- Fool's Fate
a.k.a. the Tawny Man trilogy

I'm part way through the Elderlings series, of which this is one segment. In a way, this trilogy is a bit like one giant book, because the second and third books each pick up where the previous one left off.

I felt this was the best set so far, as a set. They're beautifully paced: always something unfolding, never rushed.

I'd still recommend starting from the start of the series, because this builds upon the previous books - especially upon the first trilogy.

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!

Finished the first book of the Farseer Trilogy. Absolutely brilliant. Definitely a fantasy series I’ll be eager to finish. 😊
