I've only read the first Farseer book but my own impression disagrees greatly with the OP's. I enjoyed it and plan to continue the series. The pacing is VERY slow but I was immersed in the world she weaves. Fitz is an awkward semi-failure on many fronts. That makes him human and charming, at least to me. His lack of emotions, or really good control of displaying them, bothers me but he's not uber-man even then (he got obviously depressed at one point). He has an uneducated drive to do the right thing, if he only knew what it was, and at least in the first book his loyalty is unwaivering.
I do notice this series singled out for hate by enough people that you're not weird or anything, lol. It surely does disagree with some. Kind of how I feel about The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (I want my many hours of reading them back!) yet there are folks who love that series too.
