I feel genuinely sick to my stomach. Robin Hobb is amazing
So I’ve just recently started Robin Hobb this year and I fell in love with her character writing. I loved the Farseer trilogy and how she wrote these nuanced characters so well with such emotion and precision it’s unbelievable.
I just recently decided to start The Liveship Traders trilogy and I’m only roughly 300 pages in and I’m so sick to my stomach. I feel sick,uncomfortable, awkward, sad, and I feel like I’m going to throw up in my mouth a little bit. She writes these characters, emotions so well, so in depth, so humanly flawed with such realism it makes me feel so much emotion. I’m supposed to be reading a BOOK, so why does it feel I’m witnessing actual people talking, arguing, and feeling true genuine human emotions from these characters. Books aren’t supposed to be this realistic my god.
It’s like when you go over to a friends house and their parents are arguing, yelling while you just stand there watching the whole thing unable to do anything. That’s exactly how it feels reading Robin Hobb, you are exactly there, able to sense and feel the emotions from each character as they each show their weakness and human flaws but you don’t have the ability to interfere.
She writes characters so well it makes me sick to my stomach lmfao, I will continue reading but this realism is making me SO uncomfortable but also in awe. Books are so awesome and when you encounter authors like Robin Hobb, it makes books so much fun.
