The last 25% of Fool's Fate is one of the best conclusions to a series ever. Overall, I'm not sure that I enjoyed Fool's Fate *quite* as much as I enjoyed Golden Fool, just due to structure and plot elements, but wow the buildup and climax of Fitz and Fool's arc over the course of really all the past books is just incredible, at times tragic at times achingly hopeful. I didn't care as much about the very end wrapping up things, but I did feel like it was fitting based on the themes, even if I didn't care as much. I'll be thinking about Fool's Fate for a long time, I can tell, and I already can't wait to reread it!
