The Fantasy Books

The Farseer Trilogy

by Hobb, Robin

Description

One of my favorite fantasy trilogies of all time and one of the best audiobook trilogies.  Youâll fall in love with the characters and their stories thanks to Robin Hobbâs ability to draw you into her richly portrayed world. The story and characters truly come to life thanks to the cultured British voices of Paul Boehmer and James Langton. The narration is so good, so perfect, that you may want even want to listen to the trilogy, again and again, just to lose yourself in it. The skill of the narrators combines with Hobbâs ability to paint realistic characters to perfectly bringing out the flavor of the characters and their full power of their relationships â the bond between animals, mentors, friends are fully realized here. This is not a tale full of non-stop action (though itâs there, scattered around in key areas), but a coming of age story of relationships and how a young bastard tries to find the nook and crannies to fit into a world that does not want him, yet utterly needs him.I absolutely recommend this audiobook series for those who want a slower-paced, character driven fantasy about relationships. There is no other fantasy story out there that's as poignant drawn as The Farseer. One of the best fantasy series ever written and one of the best audiobook narrative performances to boot.Listen to a Sample of Paul Boember and James Langton Here
