I can't recall a time in my past where I was jealous of another writer's writing. Most books I read, I can enjoy the prose itself, but it doesn't tug at me. Tolkien, I think, sometimes, but I'm never jealous of him because Tolkien is just the paragon of beautiful prose for me. But Hobb's writing just fills me with an intense longing, a wish that someday I could write like her but the knowledge that I'll never be able to.
Hobb's prose is wonderful, her plotting tight and well-planned out. I spent this entire book waiting for a certain event to happen, and when it finally did I cried a lot. And let's be real, my favourite books are the ones that make me sob.
