+1 !!

I absolutely LOVED the Farseer Trilogy, the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Tawny Man Trilogy. As a matter of fact, I love everything Robin Hobb has ever written !!

I like that Fitz isn't a typical hero. He's human. He's a character I can believe in. He gets hurt, fails at things, makes wrong choices, ... I cried a lot while reading these books, but I also smiled a lot.

I disagree. Fitz is loyal, to Verity and to Kettricken. He would do anything for them. He would also do anything for Nighteyes. I thought his relationship with his wolf was really touching (although disfunctional at times). And he is really good at one thing: the Wit.
