Sequels, adaptations, remakes, revivals, etc

[Albertosaurus Rex]

Alright, alright. Strictly speaking, the world doesn't need Star Wars movies and books about Fitz and the Fool. They're entertainment.

I do have to admit being ambivalent about Hobb's oncoming return to Fitz and the Fool. It does have the potential to be amazing. But as much as I love these characters and the Realm of the Elderlings, part of me wants her to do something new. I know the Soldier Son trilogy wasn't very well received, but there's still tons of good stuff in there, and I found it a refreshing change, even if it is my least favorite of her works. (And the worst of Robin Hobb is still much, much better than the best of many other writers.)
