thePlenty.net | Robin Hobb & Megan Lindholm news

(in other less happy news, it appears the main website has issues/is down - I’ll fix it ASAP. Meanwhile, the wiki is up and running - theplentynet/wiki/)

I believe both #2 and #3 are by Simonetti.

Happy birthday @robinhobb.bsky.social ! 💐
I hope you’ll have a wonderful time at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social 😊

Hoping to post another update soon about translations!

Cover of the Grimoire anthology for the ECCC 2026. There's a girl in a red cape climbing story stairs surrounded by dead, spiky branches. Artist is Todd Lockwood

Only meant to take a little hiatus... turns out it's been 3 months. 😣
Here's a quick round up of Robin Hobb news you may have missed!
A new short story, new audio narrations, a new way to get signed& dedicated books AND a tentative con schedule for the year! 😌

Oh wait, I see you're in the UK. My bad. I don't know what's up with that then, sorry.

I believe it's UK only for now. There was a 2 year gap when they released the previous ones for the US & UK markets, so I guess there might be contractual reasons the new ones aren't available everywhere as of yet.

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.

fan art Posts on theplentynet tagged as fan art

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.
