[Rob B]

Try amazon.com under her listing. The most recent book to be published by Robib Hobb is Ship of Destiny, the conclusion to the Liveship Traders Trilogy.

She is currently writing the first book to the Tawny Man Trilogy, which will bring us back to Fitz from the Farseer Trilogy. The first Tawny book is tentatively titled Fool's Errand.

She has an official website at Robin Hobb Online (http://www.robinhobbonline.com/robin/index.html).

Another good non-official site:Robin Hobb Fantasy Page (http://home-1.worldonline.nl/~wjtimmer/Robinhobb.htm)

thanks

i always thought the ending to the farseer trilogy was a bit .......abrubt and could have had a lot more put on it

I loved the ending of the Farseer, the trilogy had a gloomy sad feeling to it and an ending where the hero saves the world, gets the girl, held as a hero by the common people, and gets a novelty title simply won't do it for that trilogy.
I'm horrified to find out that Hobb is going to write a sequel to it.

I too liked the ending to Farseer. The main character was a bastard (literally) who pretty much could not reveal himself, so the ending is consistent. Life was relatively unfair to Fitz, so the ending worked, IMHO.

I am curious about the next books in Fitz's life. Perhaps he will travel to Bingtown, or perhaps he will take another bastard under his own wing, the same way that Chade trained him.

It is a tough thing to write a 'sequel' to something that was so great and still be true to the original, but I would like to think that Robin Hobb is up to the task.

I loved the ending to the Farseer trilogy as well...the last line of the book haunts me still, it's so bittersweet.

I wouldn't mind seeing Fitz meet Molly in the next series....not that I'm mentioning a refound romance but it would be interesting to see what would happen.

I didn't like the ending. Suddenly, when the Elderlings (Dragons) were realised, all ended in a few pages. And the villain (I don't recall his name now) was vanquised, alla of the suddent! So were the Red Ship readers.
Also, I don't know what this guy Fitz liked about Molly's unspeakable character...
And the books *were* quite boring! One failure on top of the other for the hero -it doesn't attract me.
It's my opinion, ofcourse...

I very much enjoyed the Farseer trilogy, although its not the type of series I would like to reread. And I don't know what she is thinking contiuing with the story of Fitzchivalry. His story is done. His character was explained, and he ends up alone. Its tragic but it has an appeal other stories don't. You can't continue with Fitz, its over!

[FitzChivalry]

My thoughts exactly.
