The Robin Hobb Collection discussion

Like you I've read Wizard of Pigeons. That was a few years ago and it was ... interesting. I don't usually reread, but this is a book I think I'll read again in the near future to see what my take on it will be then.

I read The Inheritance when it came out and overal I loved it to bits. Lindholm's stories are very different than Hobb's.

I'm in. I may be a couple of days late. I haven't read any of the Megan Lindholm books

i'm in too, but i will be a bit late.
hopefully tomorrow, otherwise later this week

looking forward to it!

Started. I liked the background info in the preface and introduction to the first story

IMO, as a Hobb fan, those intros are one of the best parts of this collection.

I realized that this is an old, old thread for a book that has not gained as much reader traction as the other books. I'll raise my hand and admit that The Inheritance was only on the periphery of my radar.

Recently, it occurred to me that reading a compilation of short stories by Robin Hobb and her alter ego, Megan Lindholm (or is it the other way round?) might help tide over the wait for the next F/F book.

A couple of us are starting the book soon from... next weekend? Hope you (whoever you might be) will too.

I've read this (view spoiler)[ And although there were a few interesting Realm of the Elderlings stories, I just couldn't read the contemporary works. I did try, but DNF'd. (hide spoiler)] but hope you enjoy.

The beauty of short stories is that the end is near if the story is bad, but there is another one to read if the story is good... Actually, I am curious about Hobb's early writings and how they compare to later works. Apparently, Hobb's writing style is distinct from Lindholm's, so I'm curious about that too.

(Sorry, I think I might have made you paranoid with the spoiler tags)
