Needs more Nighteyes.

TBQH

Our saddens me that so few people have even read the Assassin's Series.

So sad.

My girlfriend's favourite book series (the hexalogy, I mean). I've also read them. She's also read Liveship Traders, but I'm not really interested in that one. Can't say I feel that strongly about Fitz, but I do think he's quite awesome, as are those around him. It's an amazing world Hobb has crafted. The characters' ambitions and fears, the feeling of despair at certain times... Very well done. Certain things, especially around the resolution of the whole story, were just a tad too convenient, but I have to say these six are among the best books I've ever read.

If you like Blitzball, try Captain Tsubasa II (in English) for NES!

Fitz is pretty cool, but best character in all media is really overshooting it. And I definitely wouldn't have even agreed about the 'cool' part if it wasn't for Tawny Man redeeming his character.

Yeah, the Hexalogy is my favourite series too, though I'd place it behind a few single books in a full ranking. Liveship Traders I just didn't buy into the ships in the same way as I did the Skill and the Wit. As for Fitz, I rank him and Nighteyes together and consider it impossible to do otherwise.

Great pair.

I agree to some extent, but Fitz still had a lot to him without Nighteyes. A lot of the time, the story was really successful at putting me in Fitz' shoes. At certain times, I condemned his choices and thought I would have made different ones... The story of The Catalyst and how one person can make all the difference in the world is inspiring.
