After deciding I wanted to read fantasy novels, I eventually began reading Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings books. Well, I’ve just finished the final novel and the series is a masterpiece.

Well, folks, this is it. Over the past year or so, I’ve been reading Robin Hobb’s fantastic Realm of the Elderlings novels, and I’ve made it to the final trilogy.

Since the start of 2025, I’ve been making my way through Robin Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings novels. The Rain Wild Chronicles, books 10 through 13 overall, are widely considered the worst of the entire run. How are they actually, and are they still worthwhile reading?

In Robin Hobb’s second trilogy in the Realm of the Elderlings we’ll take to the seas on liveships, navigate the Pirate Isles, and explore the trading city of Bingtown, as we focus on an entirely new cast of characters in a maritime fantasy.

As I’ve been getting more into fantasy novels, I’ve seen Robin Hobb’s name brought up multiple times as an author worth reading. Today, let’s take a look at the first trilogy set in her Realm of the Elderlings: the Farseer trilogy.
