Latest Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm news

The final part of the splitted French translation of the Tawny Man trilogy, Adieux et Retrouvailles, has been released today and is on the 5^th place in the best sellers list at amazon.fr! Shaman’s Crossing will be translated next, and there are rumours of a possible The Gypsy translation as well. As always, French fans should keep an eye on the excellent Les Rivages Maudits for all the local Hobb news. 

UK residents have a chance to win a copy of Shaman’s Crossing in an online competition by Voyager. Enter here.

Hsieh, who runs the Taiwanese/Chinese Hobb site The Fool’s Funny World, kindly sent us photos from the recent Taipei International Book Exposition.

Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy will be translated to Serbian and published by a Serbian publisher Laguna. The first book, Assanssin’s Apprentice, has been already translated and will be available in Serbian this spring.
