Switching back and forth. 5 days left on this library check-out.

listening to this from my phone. No audiobooks on me right now. I don't know about this one yet.

Just discovered Robin Hobb, loving this book :-)

Well if Felicia Day gave it 5 stars, might as well give it a shot!

Been seeing these books in the library for soo long and finally decided I should try and read 'em :b

Almost finished.....Want to slap Regal!!

Gonna read again!! Didnt read it in 2011, so im doing so now :^)

Please let it be a good book.

I think this is the third time I've read this series.

Some friendships die, some debts are settled and with that I have finished the first book of The Farseer Trilogy. Glad I decided to pick the series back up again. :D Next stop: Royal Assassin.

It looks like Regal's plan didn't work as well as he had hoped it would. I really want to see the man die though. He's tainting such a good word... growing up, I always loved the word "Regal".

Lies and deceit at every turn. Such is the life of a Fitz.

Friends seem to always appear in the most unlikely of place, despite how dire the situation becomes.

While beautiful, Jhaampe hides many obvious dangers that FitzChivalry should be wary of.

So off to Jhaampe Fitz goes...

It's great to see Fitz pulled out of his misery, and once again given purpose. But his orders are to follow Verity to his new bride, and potentially murder members of her family?

To lose his best friend, and the respect of the one whom raised him. Such a poor life Fitz leads. It seems his triumphs are always overshadowed by the bad in his life.

I can't fathom why anyone could hate someone so much. The way that Galen treats Fitz is dreadful!

Burrich is a great character. The way he looks out for Fitz is almost as though he considers the boy to be his own son.

I'm glad that The Fool is helping out with Smithy while Fitz endures his "Skill Training".

I think it's great that Lady Patience is making an effort to get to know Fitz, even if it's in her own eccentric way.

So Fitz is to learn the Skill from a man that abhors him more than he loved the boy's father. This will be an interesting match...

Seems like Fitz is getting a little closer to Molly, and Lady Patience has paid a visit to Buckkeep.

What an ordeal to have to go through the realisation that the Red Ship Raiders threats are a lot worse than they were originally conceived to be!

Really loved the diplomatic way that Fitz handled Lady Grace. I was also surprised to learn the true identity of Lady Thyme. :D

So Fitz has to travel abroad, beyond the confined walls of Buckkeep. I hope he can survive as a page boy for Lady Thyme...!

It's interesting that the belief is that the bestowing of a virtuous name shapes the individual that takes it, and melds them into someone that acts on that virtue.

Forgot how difficult it is to put this book down. Usually I don't like reading fiction written in first person, but this is an exception.

Fitz has a very lonely and sad life.
