I liked the Farseer trilogy, but was less impressed by the second trilogy set in the same universe. Hobb also published as Megan Lindholm, to some success, but not enough, apparently. I liked her stuff as Lindholm rather better, actually: it's of smaller scope, and some of it's quite creative. Cloven Hooves, in particular, stuck with me. I will continue to like her writing even if we do disagree on the whole fic issue.
