Hobb, Robin Fool's Errand: The Tawny Man - Book 1
Voyager 2001 0-00-648601-0 / 9780006486015 Paperback Good
In Fool's Errand, first of the "Tawny Man" trilogy, Robin Hobb brings back Fitz, hero of her emotionally powerful and intrigue-filled Assassin trilogy , from 15 years of self-imposed exile from his royal relations and from the world of power. Hobb is particularly good at the passage of time and the t hings it does not change; Fitz plausibly thinks of himself as older and mor e settled than he actually is. She is also good on the actual changes--Fitz 's mentor Chade is teetering on the brink of old age and his androgynous al ly the Fool has returned to court as the fop Lord Gallant; these are charac ters we cared about before and she makes it matter that they have aged or a ltered. Fitz is bonded by Wit to a wolf; the heir, Prince Dutiful, the son he never saw, is adrift with his own Wit in a world where people get lynche d for it. Hobb's leisurely story-telling never lacks urgency and menace; th is is a humane book which includes nightmarish touches along the way.

Hobb, Robin Shaman's Crossing: Book One of The Soldier Son Trilogy
Eos August 29, 2006 0-06-075828-7 / 9780060758288 Paperback Very Good+
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Nevare Burvelle is the second son of the New Lord Burvelle of the East. Destined and trained from birth to be a soldier, it's all he knows. His one dream is to do his duty and be a good soldier. In this captivating tale of a world where honor, obedience and a thoughtless adherence to rules have prevailed for generations, Hobb (The Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies) pits Nevare's beliefs against an unseen, unknown chaos that will transform his world. Nevare, through no fault of his own, becomes an agent of change and a pawn in the magical struggle of the Plainspeople against the hide-bound and selfishly destructive Gernians. Hobb excels at constructing worlds and people who are fully fleshed out. The pace is more leisurely than in previous books, but the build-up of suspense reverberates throughout the pages, pulling the reader relentlessly forward. Here is a master storyteller out to make a point and succeeding beautifully.

Hobb, Robin The Golden Fool II: The Tawny Man
Harper Collins 2002 0-00-648602-9 / 9780006486022 Paperback Very Good
The Golden Fool, the second volume of Robin Hobb's Tawny Man trilogy, is ex plicitly a sequel to both the Farseer and Liveship trilogies. The palace in trigues, which Fitz has found himself dragged back into, have as much to do with the politics of trade and conquest--the war between the Bingtown trad ers and their living ships and the theocratic bullies of Chalced--as with t he oppression of the beast-speaking Witted by the majority and the terroris m of the Piebald faction among the Witted. Fitz has always been a deeply fl awed hero--growing up as a royal bastard trained in assassination has not b een good for his character--and his inability to understand how deeply he i s loved upsets all the people around him.
