I've not read much good fantasy
Robbin Hobb? says here it's the third part of something? is that going to be an issue?

If you have the time
best to start at the beginning with the first trilogy. If you have time read the second trilogy (but that can be easily missed) if not, read the third trilogy

OK, give me the name of the 1st book of the first trilogy and i'll start there.
