30 Days Book Challenge
Day 1: Best book you read last year

I kinda want to cheat and answer The Tawny Man series because I love everything about it. The adventure, friendship, romance, life lesson, even the it-sucks-being-an-adult stuff. It’s not that easy to get a fantasy stories revolved around a 30 something hero, and this series get an extra point just for how well it handled it.

But if I have to pick one book, it would be the final novel: Fool’s Fate. The uncertainty of change and the hopefulness that surrounded it, the lesson about facing your pain and seizing happiness for yourself, and the notion about boundless love. It was a near perfect conclusion for this epic tale.

    Oh I loved these! I haven’t been as into Robin Hobbs latest but these were great.

      Fitz stories are still my absolute favorite from this writer, even if the ending felt too bittersweet to my taste.

        I liked the Liveship trilogy the best when I read them but I don’t remember a lot of what happened in them now; the Fitz books stayed with me much longer (probably because of that bittersweetness, it was effective but I would’ve taken a less effective, happier ending!)

          Objectively, Liveship Traders is the best written series from Robin Hobb. Very complex, with a lot of exploration on morally grey areas. Captain Kennit is still one of the best villain I’ve read about, and Malta has all my heart.

          *nodding along your suggestion of a happier ending* Poor little Bee.
