Jennifer asked this question about Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1):
OK, so I've CLEARLY missed a series that is absolute gold. But it looks like there are a ton of books. What order do I read these in? I see Fools and Assassins and Tawny-colored people.... Somebody help me out!

I am not saying it is the best way to ready it, but i actually enjoyed then reading the first three trilogies and seeing how it all came together.

The Farseer, Tawny man and Fitz and fool do need to be read in the order they were written they are one story with great development and reading them out of order would be wasting them,

I think i would still start with the rain wilds but that's just me. I jsut loved the journey then and as I read the earlier books i was contently amazed at the story archs that run though the whole series with all the twists and turns.

The safe and proper way is the order Vyne lists them in. (less)
