I'm absolutely entranced by Robin Hobb. After reading the Farseer trilogy I just started the Liveship Traders trilogy and I'm already fully committed.
In between I tried one of her works as Megan Lindholm: Wizard of the Pigeons. A dive into the mind of a homeless person in Seattle. Somehow it's categorized as "urban fantasy" but I don't see it in the fantasy genre at all. Unless you'd count Kafka as fantasy. Not the best comparison but the only one I can think of right now.
You're so lucky. Liveship Traders is a real adjustment from the Fitz books. Enjoy them, great stories ahead.
Thanks.
Thing is I'd never even heard of that author until someone mentioned her in one of these posts here. I wonder how many more gems in ugly last century fantasy covers there are...
