The most under rated author of our time. When I read her books, I get transported unto another world…
I wouldn't say underrated.
@@erickalfaro8389Idk as a gen z kid who has a wide range of friends I’ve never once met anyone, except my father who introduced me to her, who knows of Robin Hobb and her work
Edit: And many of my friends are avid readers who like fantasy
I loved so much Nighteyes
100%
@@erickalfaro8389 nah her worlds are on pair with the best fantasy worlds. From Tolkiens to Huberts,...
For what my opinion might be worth, Robin Hobb's writing has actually influenced my life for the better. Mr. Martin's work is certainly entertaining. The Skill, Nighteyes, and the Fool, though...
Same for me. I love George, but Liveship and Farseer were my first intros into real adult fantasy and complex character arcs.
Same here as well. I really identified with his character and loved seeing him grow.
Martin killed any charcters I loved, so yeah....
I cried like a baby when Nighteyes died. Books rarely make me cry.
I LOOOOVE Robin Hobb! By far my favorite author!
Queen of Intimacy. No other will ever come close.
Nighteyes is my favorite literary character of all time
"Wait, I’ll get up and come with you.
Wait for you? Not Likely! I’ve always had to run ahead of you and show you the way."
Mine too
Robin Hobb is so underrated
I think about this everything I go down the rabbit hole of interviews, and while I'm a big fan of Martin's work, it didn't have anywhere close to the amount of emotional impact that the farseer or any of the three trilogies about Fitz life, plus i read the books while growing up so i felt like i grew up alongside fitz and everyone. It irks the shit out of me that she doesn't get more recognition. She has fininished all of her sagas unlike george
I wonder how much I would have to pay Robin Hobb to write one whole book of nothing but Fitz being happy? I'd read it multiple times. Poor ole Fitzy Fitz...always getting shit on. Assassin's Apprentice...HA...more like Shitting on Fitz Trilogy 1 and 2 then the last trilogy is give Fitz just a tiny bit of happiness then BOOM TRAGEDY...then BOOM TRAGEDY, then btw we gonna steal your daughter...good luck.
Life is what happens when you make happy plans
Why isn't HBO or better yet NBC (prefer more than 10 shows a season) making a show on FARSEER trilogy?
KennyKenKen I think Fitz's story would be a difficult one to film for several reasons: first thing that comes to mind is that Fitz alone would need at least 3 actors to perform the multiple age stages he goes through (child, teen, adult) and another problematic feature is the amount of animals that'd be needed in the show and almost every directors nightmare is having too work with animals. And I do have to say I'd prefer the books to stay as books only :)
***** I wouldn't say digital animals are ever going to be a good option no matter how beliveable they might look. Just look at the last Hobbit movie and you can see what too much cgi does to the actors performance. If an actor has to be working with a dead object instead of a real living creature her performance will suffer, guaranteed. And doing cgi to make someone look of different age, yeah you can get away with it a few times but if you'd have to film entire seasons with peoples faces made with cgi they just wouldn't look real. And you also have to remember that doing realistic looking cgi is extremely expensive and in this case you couldn't film even one episode without using some cgi.
But as a side note I don't think Fitz will actually look much older than thirty in the new Fitz and the Fool series even though he is almost fifty :)
Not HBO they would make it more about sex and voilence
Cause it'll be shit compare to the books, as Game of Thrones compare to A Song if ice and fire.

I'm going to disagree on that with cgi, even though I have a love hate relationship with it, you'll be surprised how easier it is to use cgi rather than the real thing, especially if it is impossible to create physically.
If an actor struggles to act with an object and has to pretend it is real, they are bad actors. Actors in theatre do that all the time with out any cgi (though they use sound effects.
Also getting a young actors to an adult actor isn't really stretch, using cgi would be terrible because it look really fake. But there are good young actors out there, it's about experience not the age.
The way she described this reminds me of the way the fool sees the future and make these prophecies
Anyone else here thinking GRRM is going to pay homage to Robin Hobb by recreating Fitz' resurrection with Jon Snow, Ghost & Borroq? Not to mention Shaggydog is basically Nighteyes & Rickon is going to be a feral wolfchild like Fitz was as a kid?
Love ❤from Australia 🇦🇺
Why did I always have this misconception that Robin Hobb was English when I first saw her books being released way back when.
because she's a good writer 😅
When Fitz meets his end I absolutely bawled.
Is there an order to these video's or should I watch them willy nilly?
ah well i found these through a regular search, so thanks for the info. should've done it in part in my honest opinion.
robin hobb i am in love with yoy
Poor Fitz
I'm interested in what people think of Fitz's character. I love Fitz but people seem to think he's annoying.
@@lizclegg7556 I loved his character. I started reading the Farseer trilogy when I was 14 & had finished that & the Tawny Man trilogy by the time I was about 16. I went through everything with him, & would literally fall asleep every school night reading. I think I identified strongly with the turmoil & uncertainty in his story growing up. I've yet to read the Fool's Assassin trilogy, though I now have the first book.
@@michaelh2935 Thank you. I'm wondering whether I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't really like the Fool.
@@lizclegg7556 late reply, but you're not the only one! Thank stars I found someone who don't like him as well. Realm of the Elderlings fandom is small, but every piese of content on it praises Fool and saying that Fitz is stupid.
@@dubina_stoerosovaya I love Fitz and the Fool equally ! They are very different yet complementary characters and both have their good and bad sides :-) they both go through a journey of understanding and finding love throughout the series, even though they are wildly different from one another.
I preferred the second trilogy. The first one was so damned depressing.
The liveship traders or the Tawny Man?
You really have to prepare for any happy ending to get turned into something darker and sad before the book ends. If things are going well, then it just hasn't happened yet lol.
Oh the character not the youtuber
She doesn't reveal anything in this video! What about Fitz's life before the age of 6? Very misleading title.
I don't think it's misleading. I wasn't expecting to hear anything other than how she came up with the idea for him.
If the title had read 'How Did Fitz's Life Begin,' or something like 'Fitz's Early Life' would've made me think as you did.
I think his earliest years are unimportant to the story. We know who his father is, and that his mother was from the Mountain Kingdom, and that her father hated the idea of her having a bastard. Do we really need to know what happened to him before he was 5ish? If it was pertinent to the story, she would've told us about it.
Besides, that's the age our memories begin in earnest. Fitz can't write what he can't recall.
@@Quazi-moto POSSIBLE SPOILER!!! All she really says in the video is that she knew the arc of his story before she wrote the first trilogy. That's it, there isn't really much else. The video doesn't really tell you anything. I guess we don't really need to know the details of what happened to him before the age of six, although it would have been massively important to his psychological development (and therefore his actions) and the fact that he has no memory of it (not in the earlier books anyway) I've always read as massive trauma at being parted from his mother. Interestingly, in the last book he admits that he does actually recall his pre-six memories although he's tried to suppress them.
@@lizclegg7556 Oh, I get your meaning now. Sorry I guess I misunderstood.
interesting you took his lack of memory to mean trauma. That hadn't occurred to me.
I stopped reading your comment at "In the last book he admits..."
I'm only about ¼ of the way through the final book. Fitz and his band just left Trehaug.
Is the rest of your comment a spoiler in any way? If so, I don't wanna finish reading it just yet,
@@Quazi-moto Sorry, i don't think its a really big spoiler, its more about his psychology than anything in the plot, but I'll put a spoiler alert on.
@@lizclegg7556 hehe okay. I'll risk it and look.
EDIT: Nope, not a spoiler at all. My fears were unfounded.
And knowing that he tried to suppress those memories makes me even more curious about those years, as you are.
I get why you were so disappointed by this video now.
Fitz's story was great but damn Assassin's Quest didn't need to be that long, it had its hooks but I was reading some pointless parts here and there a lot.
