Yep! 😄

I agree that it does feel a bit awkward, maybe because it really should be “[first name] FitzChivalry”. Instead, he’s truly nameless, simply “son/bastard of Chivalry”. But I won’t spoil you whether the story reveals his first name later on! 😉

Great review! Re: spelling of Fitz- I think historically the prefix has been used similarly (FitzGerald, FitzJames etc) but it was sometimes written with a lowercase & separately: “John fitz Richard”. Interestingly a father’s title could b used instead of his name too-so FitzRoy aka son of the king.

No need to apologise but a word of warning about spoilers - the Fool is a character that undergoes a LOT of changes throughout the series so if you go looking for fanart early on, you might see some pretty major ones.

Quick digital drawing of a blue, serpentine dragoness. She is shiny and frilled.

Just a small doodle of the absolute queen, Tintaglia.
I can't really say anything here without being offensively spoilery. Please go read Realm of the Elderlings by @robinhobb.bsky.social 💙 I beg you.

I have reblogged lots of fan art over the years on tumblr if you want to see how other readers depict the characters (theplentynet.tumblr.com/tagged/fan%2...) It’s all tagged with character + book title and/or series so you can browse and/or block to avoid spoilers!

I've recently started reading the Realm of the Elderlings series for the first time and I've never fallen in love with a book series so fast! Here's some Fitz + The Fool

Thank you. My set probably won’t arrive until a couple of weeks from now so it’s great to see such a lovely & detailed, high quality video of it.

Gorgeous!

Ooh good!!

Oh no! Here’s to hoping there won’t be any more computer woes. You guys are so incredibly consistent with your schedule, I don’t know how you manage it!

Uhh I’m scared to ask what this means?

US folks got their boxes shipped earlier due to the ongoing dumpster fire, the rest of us will have to wait a bit longer. Looking pretty!

Covers with art by Yasushi Suzuki for a four-volume Japanese edition of “Fool’s Fate,” book three of the “Tawny Man Trilogy” by Robin Hobb.

Painting of Kettricken from the Farseer Trilogy. She is a young white woman with golden hair and blue eyes, wearing a fluffy fur coat. Her lips are parted slightly in an earnest smile while she gazes off into the distance. Her portrait is framed in a golden oval surrounded by sparkles and stars, set against a purple background. The text "Queen-in-Waiting" is written at the bottom of the image.

Queen-in-Waiting

Yes, the Liveship Traders continues the overall story and then it returns to Fitz in the Tawny Man trilogy and beyond. For best reading experience, don’t skip anything.

I don’t want to say too much in case you want to read the trilogy at some point but yeah, the protagonist is the titular & cover art character. He kills for his king in various ways and for multiple reasons, both openly & in secret. Sometimes he even accomplishes his mission without killing.

There’s more women as the story goes on, although the point of view is still Fitz’s. If you want women pov characters from Robin Hobb, try the Liveship Traders trilogy. 🙂
