There is one main character from the first trilogy who is featured but under a different guise and we also visit the treasure beach that Fitz frequented with Prince Dutiful. It was actually truly interesting reading it in the order I chose. He is one of the only reviewers I truly trust so I took his advice and I haven’t been disappointed. I was then ready to jump straight into the final The Fitz and the Fool trilogy but a top reviewer and friend, Petrik at Novel Notions told me that I’d be missing out on so much if I did. I read The Tawny Man trilogy next and I don’t imagine that I am the only person who has followed this route.

I adored the tale of The Fitz and the Fool so much that I carried on following their narrative, probably incorrectly as this chronologically is set before those events. After a couple of false starts, I ended up loving The Farseer Trilogy. The transformation back and forth from male to female is so complete it raises more questions concerning The Fool.The Liveship Traders is the second trilogy in Robin Hobb’s The Realm of the Elderlings saga. However, he steps into the guise of Amber again when Jek pays a visit (also causing much surprise from Jek when she meets Fitz in person and recognizes him from Paragon's figurehead). The Fool drops this guise in favor of Lord Golden when he returns to the Six Duchies during the events of the Tawny Man trilogy. Tintaglia and She Who Remembers guide the sea serpents to cocooning place, but the newborn dragons are weak and can't manage on their own. She lets Jek and Althea learn that this is the face of her one true love.Īmber does partly achieve in her mission: the dragon Tintaglia is awakened. She gives him the visage, torso and body of Fitz, down to his broken nose and his scar, feeding Paragon his own wizardwood as she carves it away. Paragon eventually convinces Amber to restore his damaged face, as well as his body, after he sails. This was Wintrow Vestrit, Althea's nephew. Amber was looking for a nine-fingered slaveboy who looked like Althea, but couldn't find him. Surprisingly, this guise chosen by The Fool is female, thus raising doubts over The Fool's gender.Īmber buys a shop in Bingtown, on Rain Wild Street, selling intriguing wood jewellery she carved herself.Īmber was instrumental in the raising of the Liveship Paragon, as well as helping Althea Vestrit out when she first ran away from her home. Amber is the guise under which The Fool operated in Bingtown during the events of the Liveship Traders trilogy.
