Title: A terrific book, but not where to start
Review: This is a fantastic book. Laden with all of Hobb's characteristic intrigue and angst, I could not put it down. However, Hobb's editors have done readers a disservice in the way they chose to market these books. Although this is the beginning of a trilogy, to fully enjoy it you should have read six books previously.First, the Farseer Trilogy, starting with Assassin's Apprentice, which gives you the story of Fitz's life to date. Failing to read this trilogy will seriously impact the reading enjoyment of Fool's Errand.Then, the Liveship Traders Trilogy, starting with Ship of Magic. It is not utterly essential that you read the Liveship Traders trilogy to understand this one, but this trilogy contains many spoilers, and it seems a shame to waste the reading enjoyment to be gathered from the Liveship Traders trilogy by reading them out of order.Finally, enjoy this trilogy. It ties together many of the threads left hanging in the previous two.
