With Hobb there are two separate storylines in that world. First is the Fitz books which you started, which are just three separate trilogies, and would need to be read in order.
Then there are the Liveship/rain wild books, set in the same world. You would need to read the liveship books first before reading the rain wilds chronicles.
There is a small crossover section in the last Fitz trilogy where it intersects with the rain wilds books, but otherwise they are pretty separate. It would add to the enjoyment of the last Fitz trilogy to have read rain wilds because of that, but it's not really necessary. All those series set in that world are good though.
Don't read her Soldier's son trilogy however, it's straight garbage.

good to know, really wanted to get to the Fitz and the Fool trilogy after reading. May just do the 9 fitz books on that end.
Did you have a favorite trilogy?

I read Assassin's Apprentice and... it just didn't do it for me. I think it's the point of view/narrator (Fitz reflecting back). It sucks, because I really wanted to enjoy it.
I'm a sucker for punishing characters ala GRRM, but Hobbs also kind of screwed Fitz over one time too many for me.
Anyway, I thought I would dig it because it's such a well-respected series (and I actually thought it was well written), but something just turned me off about it.
