Cannot believe I just found this thread recently, its a really great read through. I plan on throwing in some additional recs as there are a ton of great works not mentioned as yet, but I wanted to weigh in on this Hobb stuff.
Just my opinion, but I prefer the Mad Ships trilogy to the rest. Its less dour and brooding, plus I tend to prefer stories told outside of first person. Also I am a bit of a sucker for pirates/naval fantasy stuff which can be harder to find in general.
Anyway, the 3 Fitz trilogies are solid and the Shaman trilogy sucks, cannot speak to the rain wilds as I never read those.

Excellent.

You might want to check them out. I didn't get around to reading them or the last Fitz trilogy until the past year and a half or so (the shaman books had pretty much put me off Hobb altogether), and the rain wilds books are pretty similar to the Liveship books in tone and follow up on that storyline well.

Sounds great, will be good to have some new blood and new recommendations.
