MEDIA REVIEWS
'A little slice of heaven' GUARDIAN
'Robin's secret is not just in the detail with which she depicts the Six Duchies world she has explored over 20 years, but her emphasis on internal drama... the feelings of anguish, ambiguity, fear and failure are as familiar as those in a novel by Jonathan Franzen' Independent on Sunday
'Glorious and beautiful storytelling from Robin Hobb' SciFi Now
'Hobb seamlessly blends intrigue, action and characters who feel so real that they become more than words on a page ... Every second spent in her world is a privilege and a pleasure' SFX
'Robin Hobb's Fitz and the Fool series continues to delight' Starburst Magazine
'Another crowning career achievement in the lifetime of one of fantasy's modern-day masters' Fantasy Book Review
