![]() 1st Robin Hobb book. One of the great fantasists of our time. Robin Hobb's first book sets up a world that will hook any George R.R. Martin fan. It has character depth and the intrigue, which is all that is needed, but it also has more. It has magic that makes sense. The only thing it doesn't have, is a third person point of view. This is amended in the second trilogy by Hobb. Highly recommended to fantasy fans looking for something outside of Tolkien. |

yea i got all 3 trilogies. lol my external hard drive is getting full... i've amassed about 60 gigs in audio books alone. time to start burning all those that i've finished.
here's the breakdown koontz: 20 gb JK rowling: 3 gb Terry Goodking: 7 gb GRRM: 4 gb Robin Hobb: 3 gb Diana Gabaldon: 6 gb Dan Simmons: 2 gb RA Salvatore: 3 gb Orson Scott Card: 4 gb Tad Williams: 1 gb Lois Mcmaster Bujold: 2 gb David Eddings: 2 gb Elizabeth Haydon: 2 gb whew... im not going to be dl for a whiiiiiiile. this collection should last me for a loooong time. im not even 10% done. im currently reading/listening to Bujold's Chalion book. it won the hugo and nebula. dude if u really want to satisfy ur GRRM craving give kushiel's dart a try. |

Sounds like a strong review of Hobb, I'll have to give her work a try ASAP.
I actually have Bujold's Curse of Chalion on audiobook, I'll be curious to know what kauldron26 thinks of it. |
