What I didn't like about the Farseer Trilogy was that Hobb seemed to have something against dogs... I swear she killed like five in that series.

There was a second trilogy that followed Fitz after the events in the first series, The Tawny Man, if you're interested... which you probably aren't. I was disappointed with Fitz after The Farseer trilogy, particularly with the way it ended, but I really liked the closure The Tawny Man gave.

I wouldn't give up on Hobb, either, I really loved the Dragon Keeper Series.
Oh, maybe I'll try Tawny Man. He might get a little better in that. I was just annoyed that he was so mediocre. I get it that not everybody can be a superhero, but other than being nice Fitz didn't have a single redeeming trait. He couldn't even decide to be loyal to either his wife or his king and kind of neglected both.
