Words cannot describe how much i love this trilogy. While I much prefer the first two books in this series, I still really enjoyed this one.
Fitz. Poor Fitz. He has gone through so much throughout this trilogy and my heart was aching for him in this one. He's complex, complicated and so relatable and he's easily now asserted himself in my "top 5 protagonists of all time."
It moved at a much slower pace than the other ones, but this was really about Fitz discovering himself, something he's never really actually been able to do, while trying to hold to his promises while things that have been building came to a head.
As always, Hobbs beautiful writing style is unmatched. She really knows her stuff, and her storytelling is incredible to follow and watch play out. Normally with other fantasy books when characters are trying to get from A to B for hundreds of pages, I feel bored to tears, but the way Hobb has crafted this tale, it just moves so smoothly.
I did feel like the ending came way too fast and was rushed a little, compared to hundreds and hundreds of pages on the road, but still, I know this isn't the end of Fitz story so it didn't bother me too much, and the quickness of it made sense considering how it all went down.
But all in all, this was a thrilling, bittersweet conclusion to The Farseer Trilogy.
