The Liveship Traders Trilogy

I've set myself the task of re-reading all Realms of the Elderlings books before I finally tackle [b:Assassin's Fate 30688013 Assassin's Fate (The Fitz and the Fool, #3) Robin Hobb https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492869860s/30688013.jpg 44600531] (I started reading and then realized that all through the previous two Fitz & the Fool books I'd actually had lost all sense of what had happened before, which was a great shame, so I'm doing it all AGAIN), and: wow.You see, in the past twenty years I'd re-read the Farseer trilogy a few times, because I loved it so much. I had never re-read the Liveship Traders trilogy, because I didn't love it the first time, mostly based on the fact that it was not the Farseer trilogy. I remembered next to nothing about it. And I'm so happy I've just gone through it again. The characters are so much more layered than in the Farseer Trilogy (which is actually a bit disappointing to me now, in that regard) - although I guess part of that is to do with the fact that all of Fitz' books are written from his POV. And I was so chuffed to rediscover the feminist feel of this trilogy! I guess I didn't care too much about that stuff back in the day, but reading it as a wizened old lady of 39 it was so gratifying to read about normal female women who could be just as strong and weak and smart and stupid and dashing and scarred as the men. I realise I'm repeating myself, but I loved it.... next up, of course, is the Tawny Man trilogy. I'm already dreading it, I'm still reeling from the trauma of reading it the first time when it came out.
