�*** � A note from Robin.� Several people sent notes asking where to buy ‘The Complete Works of Robin Hobb.’� You can, of course, in the form of hardbacks or paperbacks, but there is no single volume nor boxed set!� The title here refers to reading the complete arc of the connected stories, in Chronological order!� Thank you and Carry On!� *****

Hello! Kat here, again.
�
One of the most emailed questions is simply, “What order do I read the books in?� There’s so many!”� A purist would say, read them all!� And truthfully, there’s a lot to reading them in order of publication.� Robin has many layers to her writing and there are quite a few gems hidden in the stories.� The Ships books change charaters and worlds, but they all do meet again, and it’s quite satisfying.
�
However, if you know you cannot read the full series – that doesn’t mean you can’t join in!� Here’s an interesting article by Molly Templeton, on Tor.com, about the different series and where to start.
�
Otherwise, please see the sidebar where we have listed the publication order, or feel free to visit any of the Reader run sites where this topic has been covered in depth.� I have also linked to Robin’s author’s page at GoodReads if you’d like to see additional reviews and reader feedback.
Thank you and happy reading!
Kat
