Robin Hobb - yes I've read the Liveship Traders trilogy, or at least the first three books, if there were more. They were OK, but I didn't find that anything stood out for me in them. Not as good as Sheri Tepper would be my comment. I haven't read the Farseertrilogy--and I'm sure that that is now in more than three parts--although that simply has a lot to do with the fact that protagaonist is a boy of unknown heritage, I think so zzzzz.

She used to write as Megan Lindholm. I don't know why she started using a different name, but it's probably on the web somewhere. I generally prefer her Lindholm books, except the two about the Reindeer people, since they seemed to be cashing in on the prehistoric peoples market that Jean Auel opened up. It's not that Lindholm's are bad, but I have limited tolerance for that type of tale which Auel satisfies.

However, I love her Windsinger books. We have three of them in one cover - Harpy's Flight, The Windsingers, and The Limbreth Gate. There's also another one called Luck of the Wheels, which is about the same two people, but is a bit lighter. I also really like Cloven Hooves - it's a haunting and sad book. Wizard of the Pigeons reminds me of the film The Fisher King, and it's pretty good, although I was disappointed by the ending. Alien Earth is OK - I don't have strong feelings either way about that one.

Thank you for this. It never ceases to amaze me: 1. how widely read you are and 2. how you're able to remember and respond to each book you read.

Heh!

*blushes*

I can't remember that much detail about some of the books I've read.

And I'm always impressed by how much you've read too, and thank you so very much for sharing lots of that with me.
