	Robin Hobb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)

	The SF Site Featured Review: Fool's Errand
		Robin Hobb, aka Megan Lindholm, was born in California in 1952.
		As in earlier openings to her trilogies, Hobb is in no rush to propel her story along, spending almost 200 pages in re-establishing Fitz's character as well as the setting of events about to unfold.
		While Hobb has followed this practice before, in degree this is perhaps her most deft and satisfying handling of a single volume's conclusion, and may offer promise in the one area where the author has previously shown a weakness: the final closure to her multi-volume epics.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Farseer Trilogy
		I'll tell you this right now: Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy is anything but run of the mill.
		The Farseer trilogy is described as a "debut," which is a little misleading; "Robin Hobb" is actually the pseudonym of Megan Lindholm, whose Wizard of the Pigeons I remember with great fondness.
		Hobb doesn't shirk either from an even harder task: acknowledging that the journey must scar the hero, and sometimes others must benefit from his labours.

	Locus Online: Robin Hobb interview excerpts
		Robin Hobb is the pseudonym taken by author Megan Lindholm when she re-launched her career in 1995 with a different sort of fantasy than she'd written before.
		As Robin Hobb she published Assassin's Apprentice (1995), first in the Farseer trilogy, which also includes Royal Assassin (1996) and Assassin's Quest (1997).
		If I'm approached to contribute to an anthology with a theme I'll say, 'I don't have any Robin Hobb stories related to that, but I do have some Megan Lindholm stories.' And they say, 'Oh, that's all right....' They want the Robin Hobb name on the story.

	Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb Book Reviews
		Robin Hobb likes to inflict a great deal of pain on her main character, permananet damage if possible, and as it's wriiten in first person narrative, it cuts you deep.
		Robin Hobb is a far better writer than GRRM or Robert Jordan (and as a WoT addict, that is saying quite a lot).
		Hobb tried to tie up all the plot strings at once because she wanted to fit it into a trilogy (Another plus-- she doesn't go on aimlessly like Robert Jordan, or, worse yet, Terry Goodkind).

		I digress; the main point I wanted to make first was that I respect and greatly enjoyed Robin Hobbs previous work and was therefore very excited to purchase her new work in a new series.
		I have read all of Robin Hobb's books and have noticed that all of her series tend to start out with a whimper and end with a bang.
		Robin Hobb is a tremendous author and overall the book has interesting characters in an exciting new world.

		As the ancient tradition of Bingtown's Old Traders slowly erodes under the cold new order of a corrupt ruler, the Vestrits anxiously await the return of their liveship--a rare magic ship carved from sentient wizardwood, which bonds the ships mystically with those who sail them.
		The rousing conclusion to the Liveship Traders trilogy, Ship of Destiny is the spellbinding story of a once-thriving city now reduced to shambles by raging war and rampant greed; of a glorious and mythic species on the brutal edge of extinction; and of the Vestrits, the clan, whose destiny is intertw...

	Amazon.co.uk: Assassin's Quest (Farseer S.): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The characters don't have things easy, far from it, the books can be depressing, which is part of the power of the characters and world, but you like the characters, they provoke emotion and have a real depth to them.
		We had a beleivable (within the realms of fantasy) world, strong characters and a definate goal, but then the whole thing is hopelessly spoiled by the world being saved by a group of magical dragons that you carve form magical rocks at the end of a magical road to a magical city.
		Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy is one such read.

	Trader Bay - Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb
		Other characters have important roles, particularly the Fool, but the self-sacrifice of the first two is astounding and Robin Hobb deserves the utmost praise for making it believable.
		I do not know whether it is Fitz or Verity who loses the most to achieve his goal, but both men draw the reader into their pain.
		It is a finely finished tale and I am glad Robin Hobb does not suffer from Robert Jordan's neverending story disease.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Tawny Man Trilogy, The (Robin Hobb)
		In The Tawny Man Trilogy, the last trilogy in a sequence of nine books set in the same world, Robin Hobb displays all her usual skill at writing and character-building.
		I remember Hobb's other books also ending well after the first volumes, but in each of those books there was always a serious sense of looming danger.
		There are, as usual, lots of interesting mysteries that Hobb has built up, but none of them are very well maintained through the course of the book.

	Review of "Assassin's Apprentice"
		"Robin Hobb" supposedly is a pseudonym, and if so, it's a clever one ("robin," as in "Robin Goodfellow" and "hob" are both names for forest sprites).

		Assassin's Apprentice was the first Hobb novel, and it was followed by the equally successful Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest.
		Megan Lindholm and Robin Hobb both write fantasy, but in very different styles and in different 'slices' of the genre.
		By using two different pseudonyms, she is able to let the reader know which voice they are going to be getting in a particular book.

		It's a great tribute to Robin Hobb's writing and story telling skills that she can make you want to read a tale that's so full of loss and misery.
		Firstly...I am not going to give away one single shred of the story or indeed character developments that continue into this, the gripping second book in the Farseer Trilogy, because I have no doubt that would make me the most hated follower of this magnificent series.
		As far as I know, never before has a fantasy author been able to so completely immerse the reader in a character as Hobb emerses us in Fitz, we feel his pain, triumph and frustration as keenly as if they were our own.

	Review of "Ship of Magic"
		Ship of Magic is another solid piece of work from Robin Hobb, who vaulted from near obscurity to fantasy superstardom with her trio of Farseer books: Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin's Quest.
		(By the way, I highly recommend that anyone who likes Robin Hobb's work prowl a good used bookstore and pick up some of her earlier works, written under the name Megan Lindholm.
		Hobb's gift for putting her readers through the emotional wringer also is deployed to great effect here.
