Been excited to post here for a while, was patiently waiting my full membership. Avid reeader in mainly epic fantasy and the occasional detective story.
One question I have, has anybody read The realm of the Elderlings (ROTE) by Robin Hobb? Never fell inlove with a story or collection of characters as i did travelling through Fitz's life. But for over a year im at a loss as towhat to read next, so after learning ROTL had 6 seperate books linked to the main series, i jumped straight in, but have failed to get through thefirst book of the liveship traders and have questions if anyone could possibly help.
Mainly;
1. After completing Fitz life and knowing the ending to how the characters from liveship turn out, is there much to gain, story wise or lore wise that i wouldnt already know?
2. I cant connect with certain characters, knowing what I know from the main series, ie, a certain sexual abusive pirate. Will my opinions change on character reading this?
3.and finally, obviously there is conections in the final Fitz trilogy to the liveships and dragon traders, but the the other 2 trilogies link in to Fitz story whilst reading them?
Thanks for your help in advance and i look forward to getting to know people here more, always open to new suggestions to.
