Sparrow spoiler Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I will admit it was slow. I didn't warm up to bee either. But, I trust robin has a plan. Fitz and the fool are her go to characters. She wouldn't let us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesome possum Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm only about 25% of the way through (THE NEW BOOK - FOOL'S QUEST - YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT MOST RECENTLY IN THIS THREAD) and [spoiler] Fitz finally being acknowledge and "outed" as himself and then celebrated... wow, that brought a tear to my eye. I kept thinking it was an elaborate dream though and waiting for him to wake up. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ᴛɪᴍᴏᴛʜʏ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hey. Above is a Fool's Quest spoiler, FYI. You should really point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome possum Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Which part? The "Hail Hydra" or my post where content is clearly marked SPOILER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ᴛɪᴍᴏᴛʜʏ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Spoiler for what? Unmarked, I think most would assume (like I did) it would refer to Fool's Assassin, instead of the book that's still three weeks away from release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Which part? The "Hail Hydra" or my post where content is clearly marked SPOILER? Yeah, please tag that what is in the spoiler tag is from Fool's Quest, since the release date hasn't actually passed yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome possum Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The last several pages of this thread have been devoted to talking about the new book. It should be very basic common sense that anything marked spoilers would not be from a book released a year ago but, well, common sense is a rare item in this world anymore.

Brendan Moody Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Advance review copies of the whole book, both physical and digital, have been out for a while. (I have a print version myself, though I haven't started reading yet.) And digital ARCs, like all e-books, are easily pirated, even ahead of the release date.

Frank Fitzpatrick Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So I've finally finished it and naturally I've done a complete u-turn and absolutely loved it. :laugh: Don't get me wrong, I stand by my original statement. I found the first 1/3 of the book really tough to wade through but the second POV really helped and from then onwards it was back to the usual, 'F**k, Hobb is a writing genius, the b***h'. Although I did find the Lost Boy/ White Prophet mystery way to easy to decipher. Like, you'd have to be an absolute idiot to miss it. But yes, the final chapter has left me desperate for more.

Sparrow spoiler Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yes Frank, I just am almost done with my re read to prepare for the new one.

HexMachina Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Goodreads are doing a giveaway (U,K only) of Fool's Assassin atm. They did have Fool's Quest on a giveaway, but that offer is finished now. Assassin's Apprentice is still on a giveaway for the U.S. anyway. ETA: And on a semi-relevant note, some comments by Jane Johnson during an interview for Harper Voyager's 20 year anniversary. Some shout outs there to GRRM, Robin Hobb, Joe Abercrombie and Mark Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
