I totally crashed when I got home last night. It was just a really exhausting weekend camp. Not bad, just exhausting. Thinking of it still makes me tired.



Once again working my way through the Farseer Trilogy. Find myself wishing I could be like Kettriken at the end of the first book, instead of like her at the beginning of the third book.



My tummy is being not-nice. It (and some other things I don't want to get into) makes me want to go curl up and cry.

A good sleep feels good~
And tummys suck in general. I vote for evolution to take care of that one for us.

I haven't had quite a long enough sleep, yet. But I'll get there.

Agreed. >:[

Oooh... someone to discuss them with! What do you think, so far? I have to admit the third book is my favourite of the three. You should read Robyn Hobb's other two trilogies, too. (Bingtown Traders and Golden Fool) They're actually one long story ark, though it's not obvious to figure out until you get deeper into them.

At the start I was really bored, and only read a few pages at a time since I was so bored with it ... but then I started reading more (I think when I got the flu? I was too tired to be on mylaptop, but bored as hell, so I ended up reading a lot), and I realised I really couldn't put it down.

I have to keep reminding myself tht Fitz is only a boy. He must be what ... no more than 16 by the end of the first book?

So many characters I want to take a knife to *stabs the assholes*

I find Fitz and Burrich's relationship to be quite touching, and I wish that Burrich would be less D: about the Wit *pokes his face* I thought it was lovely what he did though when Galen beat Fitz up XD Iwas like YEAH GO BURRICH GO XD;;

I'm expectig Molly to be Forged.

Yeah, I found it the same way... but as soon as it warms up... wow.

He was 15.

Hahaha. Yeah. Don't worry, there are MANY deaths coming up. And since I know you hate so many, who's your favourite? Personally, I'm a huge fan of Fool. He's my all-time favourite character from any book. And you'll be seeing much more of him in the next two. (Random fact, my birds are named Assassin and Fool for these books - though I usually call them Sassa and Fu.)

You'll understand later why Burrich hates the Wit so much. The Wit is a huge theme in both this series and the third trilogy.

Not going to ruin what happens to Molly for you. It's a really good twist, though. :x

I really loved .. damn, I can't remember how to spell his name XD; Rurick? Kettrikken's brother. And Burrich,he's wonderful. Other than that, I'm pretty neutral to everyone, though Verity is kinda cool so far. I wanna smack Chade, and I'm not even sure why.

I wanna know what was going on with Burrich and Chivalry! I keep reading things into it XD;;;;

I'm so starting book two tonight. And need to find book three.

Rurisk. Yeah. I was so heartbroken the first time I read it and he died. :( Burrich I find I want to slap once in a while. He's too singlemindedly loyal. And Chade... wow, you should see him in the third trilogy (golden fool) if you wanna smack him now. Kettriken really starts to shine in book 2, especially in her relationship with Verity. And Verity... he has such a sad path in these books. Oh... and I'll bet you'll love Nighteyes, once he enters. I know I certainly do.

Burrich was Chivalry's man, basically. Friend, servant, and guard all in one type thing. You'll hear about it more soon. Patience is a part of that story.

I read the first 2 chapters of book 2 last night. And I can definitely find you book 3, if it's hard to find over there.
