Why read it?

1 author picked Fool's Errand as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book has a surprise waiting inside. Yet even if you guess what it is—Robin Hobb spends plenty of time foreshadowing it—you still won’t be prepared when it happens.

This book is one of the most devastating books I’ve ever read. I kept thinking about it for days after I’d finished, and even now, months later, those feelings stir with the memory.

What is my book about?

An ambitious orphan. A ruthless warlord. An impossible destiny.

Arya Nameless is a lowly Raider posted to an isolated fort in the most dangerous place in Dunidaen. She has few prospects, and as much as she loves her fellow soldiers, she burns for more—more control, more autonomy, more power.

When her bravery during an unexpected attack leads to an offer to join the household of one of Dunidaen’s warlords, Arya finds a home and family she never expected. Yet her quicksilver temper and fierce pride put her place there at constant risk.

And as her warlord embroils them all in a dangerous political game to rule Dunidaen, over the border to the west, the Nightstalker lurks. A king who wields powerful magic, the Nightstalker’s fate is inextricably entwined with Arya’s. His relentless pursuit will force Arya into a choice she doesn’t want to make, between loyalty and love, and taking hold of the destiny she was born to fulfill.

Which will she choose?
