Completely agree that Taste of Gold and Iron + Strange and Stubborn Endurance feel like the same vibe category of books. Winter's Orbit too. I want more like that!
You are the first person evee to give trigger warnings for Robin Hobb's book, thank You ❤before I only heard that they are heavy and depressing but I don't think anyone mentions triggers and it is vital. Happy new year and many great reads🎉
I highly recommend checking out the original myth/epic of Ramayana. That story in and of itself is very interesting....it does a good job of showing the society and culture of India in that time period, especially women and condition of women historically in India. As a historian, it's a very interesting study, especially since it's so intricately connected with a major religion in India even today.
I have Seasonal Fears but haven't been able to get to it yet. I read Middlegame early last year and absolutely loved it. Have Tidal Creatures on my Anticipated Releases list for '24 so hope to get to books #2 and #3 this year. 😄
You can either start with the Farseer trilogy or Liveship Traders (after that you have to go in order). Personally I think Farseer is the best place to start but if Ship of Magic’s plot really interests you then start with that.
You can start there but it's recommended to start with the Farseer trilogy because every other series in her world follows the characters from that series so if you want to continue, you'll have to read Farseer.
That latest installment of Wayward Children does sound really interesting! I sadly DNF'd the one about the goblin market, just wasn't my vibe. Across the Green Grass Fields was fine, not awesome, not bad. I'm 2/3s of the way through Come Tumbling Down (Jack and the Moors have been my favorite so far!), and I really want to read the ocean-focused one.

I'm so glad someone is talking about Kaikeyi! It was my favorite book of 2022.
Yule is such a good book! I started reading this collection on Samhain, and I can't wait to read the rest!

You are so welcome!
So excited for you to continue Liveships!! Can’t wait to see what you think about certain character arcs
Yes! I completely agree! Lost in the Moment really reminded me why I love this series.
Just started my first Robin Hobb, Assassin's Apprentice, and I'm loving it!!
Happy new year 🥂📚☕❄️

KAIKEYI WAS AMAZING!!

I’ve had a strange and stubborn endurance on my TBR forever now 👀
I really enjoyed The last Watch and the sequel.

Ship of Magic sounds interesting - would you say that’s a good place to start with Robin Hobb?

If you love Circe, you should check out Lilith by Nikki Marmery
