I'd really be a shame to only address the Farseer Trilogy and skip over the Liveship and Fool trilogies. While the Farseer may be the tighest and best of the three, I think it's worth taking the long road here, assuming we're feeling like gluttons for punishment. If any modern author has truly latched on to Tolkein's concept of eucatastrophe, it's definitely Hobb.
I'll take this project as an opportunity to finally make it through Gormenghast, too. My previous attempts have been on the fruitless side. FOCUS!
