Aujourd'hui, en France et à l'étranger, La Citadelle des Ombres est unanimement saluée comme l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre de la littérature fantastique. Dans ce quatrième et dernier volume, Fitz accompagne le prince Devoir dans le défi que la fiancée de ce dernier, la narcheska Elliana, a lancé afin de pouvoir l'épouser : rapporter à Castelcerf la tête du dragon Glasfeu. Après de longs préparatifs, notre héros prend enfin la mer pour l'île d'Aslevjal. Une fois rendus là, les protagonistes de cette inoubliable et bouleversante saga se retrouvent face à leur destin. La mort moissonne, les énigmes se résolvent, les serments se dénouent. Et c'est le coeur serré qu'on doit les quitter. Le lecteur achève ainsi la découverte d'un grand livre, non seulement par le style mais aussi grâce à la puissance d'imagination de son auteur. Car Robin Hobb a composé une fresque étourdissante avec des personnages plus vivants les uns que les autres, créé une société raffinée avec ses classes, ses codes, ses coutumes, et peint des paysages, des végétations et des climats qui font de La Citadelle des Ombres un univers complet.

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found. Robin Hobb is the author of three well-received fantasy trilogies: The Farseer Trilogy (Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin’s Quest), The Liveship Traders Trilogy (Ship of Magic, Mad Ship and Ship of Destiny) and the Tawny Man Trilogy (Fool’s Errand, Golden Fool, and Fool’s Fate) Her current work in progress is entitled Shaman’s Crossing. Robin Hobb lives and works in Tacoma, Washington, and has been a professional writer for over 30 years. In addition to writing, her interests include gardening, mushrooming, and beachcombing. She and her husband Fred have three grown children and one teenager, and three grand-children. She also writes as Megan Lindholm, and works under that name have been finalists for the Hugo award, the Nebula Award, and the Endeavor award. She has twice won an Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Readers’ Award.
