RotE1: The Farseer trilogy (BR)

[Wen]

@Anthony Thank you for suggesting this series. It is indeed so lovely and all kinds of relationships (I usually not pay attention to these, aw…but Hobb’s is somehow different). Ah, I want to skip the swimming practice tomorrow to read this book(no, you can’t).

[Wen]

Royal Assassin: chapter 7 (view spoiler)[Ah, the wolf is so cute! When will he have a name? The little one is so cute(ok, stop it) “We are pack” “I will hunt with you...much rich meat.” “So teach me...it’s your pack duty.” And then I am so so so mad at Fitz now.(huh!) You cannot just leave him like that...we are not pack. I don’t want human story, I want wolf baby story Now. Sorry I don’t know what I just posted. :) (hide spoiler)]

Thank you, and I am so slow:) I really hope that we start the 4th one in December.

[DivaDiane]

That stuff was from Royal Assassin, wasn’t it, Wen? I feel like I just read it. But he does now have a name!

Me too, but I'd feel bad starting without Anthony, and I gather he might be a bit busy. Hopefully things will calm down enough.

Oh, I thought that all of you would start in November:) There is no way I can catch up this month...currently I am still at the 2nd book, weeping. And you're already at the 3rd book of Year's best science fiction. Why am I so slow? :)

Sorry, I forgot to put the title... Yes, it's from Royal Assassin.

[DivaDiane]

Wen! I’m a very slow reader too (I just read whenever I get the chance), and the Elderlings series is a reread for me, so, while compelling, it’s not really a priority. Except I want to discuss it with all of you!!

I want to chat with all of you too:) And, oh, yes, the baby wolf(fine, not a baby now) has a super cool name!!!

[Wen]

Royal Assassin: Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[When Fool talked to Fitz, I was like, ehh, it’s my English. And then Fitz said, “I don’t understand a thing you just said.” Oh, it’s not my English:) (hide spoiler)]

[Jacqueline]

I’m still waiting to start the second one. I have it at home but I’m not at home and won’t be for another week or so. Been away for just over two weeks now.

[Wen]

Finally finished Royal Assassin:) (view spoiler)[There are so many lovely things/relationships within this book. I was a bit very shocked about the ending(sigh) and also Molly and Fitz! I was irritated around middle of the book already, they started arguing with each other...

Sometimes I am wondering is it better not to have a relationship. I mean, even lovely as Fitz and Molly they still argues(sigh). I was surprised to see this. (ok, fine, people still argue even they are in a healthy relationship.)

They love each other but it somehow always ends up they are not happy… And then it got worse, Molly just left, oh, my. Well, it sounds reasonable because Fitz cannot even promise her a future… (hide spoiler)]

[Jacqueline]

Finally picked up number 3 today so I’m going to start 2 next week.

[DivaDiane]

I’m making good progress on my reread of Royal Assassin. Will hopefully finish it before Thursday when we leave for Italy for Christmas.

[Jacqueline]

I was in Italy for most of November. Have fun :)

[Wen]

Assassin’s Quest chapter 18 (view spoiler)[The spotlight for me is still the warm relationship between Fitz and Nighteyes. And furthermore, Nighteyes is like a big brother now. He is no longer the baby wolf, aw, I miss it, such as he likes ginger cake(smile). (hide spoiler)]

[Mareike]

Wen wrote: "Assassin’s Quest chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

Yes! (view spoiler)[I have such a soft spot for Nighteyes. And I love his and Fitz's relationship and how it changes over time. (hide spoiler)]

[Wen]

Assassin’s Quest, finished. (view spoiler)[I really love Nighteyes. It was just him and Fitz at the beginning but then later on others also be part of it. I think this is very sweet. And I feel Nighteyes is such a big brother. :) Also the things he said are so cute and funny, such as “Wolves sing together.” “How do the horses look?” “Delicious.” I guess I wasn’t paying too much attention to others, aww. (hide spoiler)]

Nighteyes, to me, was the thread that held the entire fabric of the stories together.

[Wen]

Yes, and I love Nighteyes the most. :) And also (view spoiler)[, aww, I am not at the same page with the group again... After reading the discussions, Fool loves Fitz? I thought they’re just good friends! And of course friends love each other... (hide spoiler)]

I agree. Nighteyes is such an important character !

That's re: Assassin's Quest, chapter 11.

I know I'm six months late, and Jemppu hasn't been here in forever, but I had to comment on this. I had not been spoiled for anything, I knew next to nothing about the series, and this detail (well two different details, one started in the previous book) were oh so painfully obvious to me. I figured both out immediately, they were so crystal clear. As are many other things. Except to Fitz <_<

[Anna]

Oh my, that was a lot of audiobook! I've read Farseer now, took me nine days. I'll listen to The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince tomorrow, and then I need to take a break with something very different before I start Liveship.

It's kind of fun to look at all the titles in the larger Elderlings universe, and speculate what they might mean!

[DivaDiane]

There is a graphic novel series of The Assassin’s Apprentice with 4 volumes so far. The first one is on sale ATM (not sure how long, though) (for £1.59 on the Amazon UK):
