Robin Hobb's Elderlings

I have recently picked up the Robin Hobb’s books again. I remember reading the stories about Fitz, the Fool, princes, castles, potions, magic and adolescence before I went to University. I remember getting hooked on the books and not being able to put them down.

I saw a copy of maybe Fool’s Assassin or Fool’s Quest when I was looking a book store for a gift and after reading the blurb and checking the backstore realised that a lot had happened that I had either forgotten about or never actually read.

After a little bit of Googling I just decided to re-read the entire set of books from start to finish (well current end as published to date). As there are quite a few, and to help me keep track here is a list of the books in their sections ordered by the date they were first published. Most of these are available from Amazon (Kindle Format) in single book per series (i.e. 3 or 4 books in one).
