I'm looking for a new fantasy author to read, and this name keeps popping up. I'd like some recommendations on Robin Hobb.
I'm attracted to two types of fantasy: epic fantasy (a la Jordan, Tolkien, Martin, and [Tad] Williams) and to dark fantasy (like Lovecraft and Caitlin Kiernan). I've heard that he's closer to the former than not.
Also, I see that he has at least two series completed. I'd like to start with his older work if the recommendations are good.
Thanks!
