I’m 100% gunna save this and do it again when I’ve finished reading all of the books (okay I’m over half way through and I’m getting sad about the potential of finishing them so slowing down on them ok don’t judge me.)

Favourite RotE Book: Fool’s Fate, I think, so far buuuut I love that entire trilogy SOOO much

Why: Ermm I apparently love pain? I cried like for the entirety of the tawny man trilogy, would book mark every other page and felt empty for a week after I finished. Fitz and Beloved whole relationship in this is far to intense and lovely and painful and we get so many amazing new character and lose so many wonderful ones. Honestly it was A L O T

Top Three Favourite Characters: Beloved, Fitz and Kettle (honourable mentions to Kettricken, Verity, Patience, Lacy, Jek, Paragon, Rapskal, and Mercor/Maulkin, sorry I just really fucking love these books and pretty much all the characters)

Top Three Least Favourite Characters: (I’m not gunna count actually evil characters) Starling Birdsong, Davad Restart, Molly (I REALLLY didnt like her when she was younger but I suppose she gets mildly better with age? maybe?..)

Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): Paragon and all his personalities (also I love my mutant baby Tarman)

Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind): Fitz and Beloved, Verity and Kettricken, Patience and Lacey (all the OG’s, also Amber and Jek and Erek and Detozi (does that become cannon or are they just two soft gays who write love letters for years?))

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted cos I don’t think I could resist the whole addictive nature of the skill and would deffo zombify myself

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: I mean I’d hope for something cool like a crow (I also love octopuses and tigers but practicality wise probably wouldn’t be best) but the reality would probably be something like a slug

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: Jhaampe for sure but would love to visit everywhere, especially the Rain Wilds and Pirate Isles.

How were you introduced to the books? when I was about 11 I started reading the first book in a huge 2nd hand book shop while my dad was browsing. I didnt buy it but I never forgot that book and for years tried to remember what it was called. Thankfully 10 years later I thought to ask on goodreads (it was the most tenuous ask EVEeeer) and about 6-8 months later I finally got the name of the books and became immediately obsessed. 

Share a quote you love: erm just one? nah here’s about 50 (also might do a master post of all my fave quotes so lemme know if that’s a good idea) 

“You were never really good at it (assassination) you know. There was a naivete to you that none of the ugliness could stain, as if you never truly believe in evil. It was what I liked best about you. It was what I missed most when you were dead.” - Assassins Quest

“I was the Fool and the Fool was me. He was the Catalyst and so was I. We were twp halves of a whole ... For an instant I knew him in his entirety, complete and magical.” - Assassins Quest

“I have always been more curious than wise. Yet any wisdom i have ever gained has been from my curiosity.” - Ship of Magic 

There's a super beautiful quote Amber says in ship of destiny about fate but it is LONG

the entirety of the tawny man trilogy???
