I've never been much of a fantasy fan, but I spent last month reading like a bleary eyed fiend hrough 6900 odd pages worth of Robin Hobb: The Farseer Trilogy, The Liveship Traders Trilogy, and The Tawny Man Trilogy (must read in order!). She paints the most amazing, realistic, and confrontingly human characters I've ever come across. Definite must-reads
