Book Reviews of Fool's Errand (Tawny Man #1)
Book Review: 4 1/2! Robin Hobb does it again!
Summary: 4 Stars
Fitz Chivalry had always wished that his life would be his own. After completing the last task assigned to him in "Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy (3 Mass Market Paper Backs Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin & Assassin's Quest)" He has finally gotten his wish. 15 years have passed and Fitz has spent the majority of his time in relative seclusion. Most people whom he cared for believe him to be dead. Now it is just Fitz, his wolf and an adopted son living the simple life Fitz always dreamed of. That is until he receives a visit from some of his old friends from Buckkeep. It turns out that Prince Dutiful is missing and it is the request of Fitz's old mentor Chade and the queen herself that Fitz return to court for a new assignment. Together with his old friend the Fool, Fitz must track down the Prince and return him before his betrothal ceremony...
Hobb has done it again. She has to be one of the best writers working on fantasy novels today. In reality the story is not overly complex and there isn't a vast amount that happens however Hobb's writing keeps you entertained somehow even when there isn't a lot going on. Her ability to draw complex and interesting characters is second to none.
The Good: Hobb's writing and characters make this book. The story although not overly complex wove an interesting enough maze in which to watch Hobb's characters wonder. It was great to revisit the characters from "The Farseer" trilogy and see how they have changed in the 15 years that have passed.
The Bad: There was one part that was bad but it would be a spoiler to give it away but you will know what it is when it happens.
Overall: If you are a fan of the Farseer trilogy or "Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders Trilogy (3 Mass Market Paper Backs Ship of Magic, Mad Ship & Ship of Destiny)" or any of Hobb's other works then pick this up and give it a try.
