Happy Sunday! I recently discovered Robin Hobb and Fitz in the Farseer Trilogy and fell in love with both the character and the story. I know, what took me so long? Fitz was just an amazing character and went through so much and I liked being in his head and seeing how people treated him and how he reacted and how he was able to persevere through all the ups and downs and machinations involved. He kind of reminded me of Pug from Raymond Feist's Magician's Apprentice but that storyline dragged whereas I enjoyed Fitz's story which captivated me and made me want to read on.
I'm in the midst of #2 Royal Assassin, have Assassin's Quest waiting in the wings as well as Ship of Magic in her Live Ship Trader's series. No doubt I'll be exploring her complete backlist over the next few years as I have done with new to me authors Imagine my surprise when I also discovered she used to write under the name of Megan Lindholm. More stories to explore.
I also recently "discovered" Fredrik Backman and Rebecca Yarros and am enjoying reading their backlists.
Other authors whose stories I read again and again and again are Nora Roberts, Dean Koontz, James Rollins, Haruki Murakami, Keri Arthur, and Patricia Briggs to name a few. I'm a devoted series reader. When I fall in like with the characters in the first book, I simply must continue. Not all books are equally good, and some can be duds, but I enjoy their writing.
Who are the authors that you will read over and over again or will read anything they publish? Who have you 'discovered' recently?
