Fool Errand Tawny Man Robin Hobb 9789780006488 Books

Fool's Errand begins a new trilogy from acclaimed fantasy novelist Robin Hobb. It is not required to read the previous trilogy, but it does make the experience richer. All important past events are mentioned a few times, so I kept up although I hadn't read the first series for several years now. There are great tie-ins with both her other trilogies, so if you have read her other books, you will really enjoy this one.
I wasn't able to relate as much to this older, more mature character as I was to the characters in the Liveship Traders trilogy. I suspect this is because I am a young female and this book's main character is a middle-aged, experienced man. However, this very reason may make the book appealing to older readers, as so many fantasy novels focus on a youthful hero.
Robin Hobb's matured writing style is reflected in the matured characters and broader range of human emotions. This is a complex book character-wise, although the story is easy to follow.
As with all of Hobb's series, this one starts slow, allowing us to know our main characters before thrusting them into the action. However, it is never dull as so many introductions can be. Words and events are used judiciously.
I liked the underlying premise of this particular book, which seemed to be that beasts can be more noble than humans. This is shown both in the character of Nighteyes, Tom's wolf companion, and his distaste for unnecessary killing, as well as in the villain's disregard for the well-being of animals. I cannot say much more without giving away the plot, which has many surprises. These surprises are well set up in the beginning of the book, without giving away what they are. That kind of foreshadowing takes talent.

Fool Errand Tawny Man Robin Hobb 9789780006488 Books Reviews

While I don't love everything that happens in this book, I definitely love the series.

Set in an alternate world in a renaissance time period, it continues a story of friends, family, magic, dragons, and much more. While there might be many of these themes available, the Farseer and Tawny Man series definitely stand out in how you will fall in love with the characters and be engaged in the plot.

Of the "Tawny Man" series, which is the follow up to the "Fitzchivalry Farseer" series, this is the most action packed. The first two in the series were more of a set up of the end, as well as a reminder of what happened in the first series and a point of filling in some of the important details of the plot line that further develops the characters and gives you the "why" of many of the things that have happened in the past.

While the Tawny Man series doesn't get you quite as attached to the characters as Farseer did, it's definitely a must read to complete the story and will definitely give you both joy, sorrow, and a mixture of emotions as you learn more about the characters. It's definitely satisfying, though I'd say you really should read the first series before it. If you haven't, then definitely read it after. It's wonderful.

There are notes of the authors other series "Liveships" throughout the books that give you several peeks into the lives of those characters as well, which I feel adds a lot of flavor to the book.

I have read all three of the aforementioned series several times, with this one being read with my family aloud so that my husband can experience this wonderful story.
I noticed when skimming the other reviews that a lot of people didn't seem to like this book. I was not one of them. Where some people found middle-aged Fitz annoying, I found him relatable. This may say more about my own personal failings than about Hobb's overall level of skill (I, too, struggle with letting go sometimes...okay, maybe more than sometimes), but regardless, I enjoyed Fitz as a protagonist in this book. I actually liked him much better than I did in the Assassin books. The character formerly known as The Fool (and by another name in another trilogy, if you're paying the least bit of attention) continues to delight, as does Nighteyes. Reading about both of them was like reuniting with old friends. Some of Nighteyes' "dialogue" had me literally laughing out loud at times. No, Kettricken doesn't get much attention, but that's because she's not a significant character in this book, and that's okay.

Hobb continues to expand her world-building exploration of the Wit and the Skill in this book in ways that intrigue and provoke reflection on a variety of topics, from small-scale ones such as personal boundaries in relationships to larger-scale ones such as how humans in general tend to "other" and find reasons to hate and fear one other. The tempo does start off slow, but that seems appropriate given that Fitz starts off arguably "stuck" in the isolated life he has chosen. That sort of life has a slow tempo built into it (as anyone who has lived in relative isolation can attest), so causing the reader to experience that tempo is just one more way that they can become immersed in Fitz's experiences- as I did.

Without getting into spoilers, I will say that even though I saw some plot twists coming, it didn't diminish at all from the experience for me. There were still parts near the end where I couldn't bring myself to set the book down, and had to read just one more chapter, even if I should have been sleeping. And there were parts where I cried. And kept crying, well after I'd set the book down. That might sound bad, but I wouldn't trade away the experience of reading this book for anything... strange as it might sound, I loved it.

The epilogue initially struck me as strange and irrelevant. At the time I shrugged and was just like, "whatever." Then twelve hours later I was laying down with a cat on my chest, just contemplatively looking out a window, and all of a sudden the theme hit me like a tsunami crystallizing on impact. It just all came together in a single moment, and shifted something in my soul a little bit.

Anything that can cause that is very good writing, indeed. Maybe I read it at the right time, and that amplified the impact. But it still had to be the right book, at the right time. So while this was an enjoyable escapist adventure in a detailed fantasy world (as Hobb provided in her previous two trilogies), it also tells what can be (depending on the reader, I suspect) a deeply meaningful and thought-provoking story. I expect this one will stay with me for some time.
