Robin Hobb is one of the world's finest writers of epic fiction.She was born in California in 1952 but raised in Alaska, where she learned how to raise a wolf cub, to skin a moose and to survive in the wilderness. When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels. She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State.
'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers … what makes her
novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative
brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and
manipulated by politics.'
The Times ‘In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are
like diamonds in a sea of zircons’
George R.R. Martin ‘Hobb is superb’ Conn Iggulden ‘Hobb is a
remarkable storyteller’ Guardian ‘This is a historical novel with a
sly touch of magic. The first in the Farseer trilogy, this book
will get new readers hooked on a series that recalls HBO’s Game of
Thrones and The Lord of the Rings’ Telegraph
