I read Liveship Traders BEFORE Farseer: Should you?? | Robin Hobb Reading Order Discussion

Hi there! Today I'm bringing you a discussion about the unconventional reading order I chose for Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings. Both Farseer and Liveship Traders are two possible entry points into Hobb's expansive universe but I've found that most people tend to read in publication order. So I wanted to go into my reasons for reading Liveship before Farseer, the pros and cons I experienced, and whether or not I recommend this order to anyone else. Let me know your thoughts below. Do you agree/disagree with me if you've read RotE? If you haven't, which of these would you pick to start with? ⌛Time stamps: 00:00 Intro 00:49 Two possible starting points 06:57 Why I read Liveship first 10:37 My experience 15:22 Do I recommend it/final thoughts 18:44 Outro
