Finished chapter two. Can I say, I missed this? Sure, I never stopped reading The Realm Of The Elderlings, but I won't deny that The Rain Wild Chronicles felt like a departure, in both tone and quality, from the three previous trilogies. I'm ecstatic to be back with Fitz. At some point, I will read these trilogies again, but back to back.

I put this book on hold, as I find Robin Hobb's work very emotionally impactful. Why? Because mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer shortly after I started, and I was left with no choice but to pause my reading so as to stay as upbeat as possible. This has been a tough book, but an absolute great one. I plan to finish it today, my mum having passed away yesterday morning.
Robin Hobb is a tonic for the soul.

Love Bee. Won't spoil for anyone who has begun reading these books and have yet to reach this point but: Bee. I love.

Oh, how much I love this book already!
Robin Hobb, I've barely started and you've messed with my emotions too deeply already 😭

Oh how I missed this! Took me a few pages to get into the mindset of Fitz again, but I'm delighted to be back in his part of the world!
LOOOOOVE THIS ALREADY!

I was going to wait til after I finished the Throne Of Glass series (which I massively preferred to Hobb's Rain Wild Chronicles quartet), but...I can't wait any longer!
It feels a bit jarring to suddenly have Fitz and his voice in my head, it's been so long since I finished The Tawny Man trilogy. But it's like meeting an old friend for the first time in years! So much to catch up, and so much to enjoy reading...
