I didn't love the books nor did I particularly enjoy them. Stephen Send a noteboard - 17/03/2013 03:23:21 PM

View original postI can't really tell you why I like Robin Hobb so much. Maybe because she really makes you connect to the characters, which is quite remarkable, seeing how the two Farseer trilogies are in the first person perspective. Trust me, if you don't love it, at least you will have enjoyed reading the books.

They were a bit pedestrian in my opinion.
