Fool’s Fate (The Tawny Man Trilogy, Book 3): book three of the tawny man trilogy: 3/3

Product Information

The writing is absolutely superb and the world Hobb has created continues to wow me in its complexity. It would probably take me a few pages to describe it, and there's not really any good solution to the problem. I have a very high criteria for putting an author on my favorite author list, there's no doubt that Robin Hobb is a fantastic author but considering that I’ve read 9 books + 1 novella in her Elderling series and only Fool’s Errand received a full 5 stars rating, I just can’t put her into my favorite list yet. So, not only does he need to live with the memories of his torture but he has to leave his best friend.

Here, I was all set to summon a grandchild to me and reveal to her that she was well born of noble blood, and pass on to her keepsakes of her father’s.But when the major inciting incident happens out of nowhere to kick off the climactic sequence, it was just a mind-blowing Hobb-alanche from there on out. In any case, I broke down again during the penultimate, pre-epilogue chapter, and cried for the fact that Fitz gets the past he wanted -- and yes, still wants -- at the expense of the future.

There are parts of this book that are SO lovely, SO emotional, and SO insightful into the human condition. However, she knew going in that he was the King's Man so her getting upset when he was off being the King's Man annoyed me to no end. As we drew closer to the bay, the railing became crowded as we all stared toward our destination and the solitary ominous figure that awaited us there. If you had asked me at about 80% through I would have said there weren't enough stars on this site for this book. Every character and their own mini factions have their own hidden agendas and motivation in this quest.OK this is getting overly long, I'll wrap it up by saying, this wasn't the god-sent book that everyone on Booktube made it out to be, it definitely is not my favorite in the series, but the series is definitely still up there with my absolute favorites of all time.

As they set up the explosives, Fitz sends Dutiful back to be with Burrich and then is suddenly in contact with Icefire and learns his story. Let’s just say that I’m delighted that Hobb decided to continue the series because I don’t think this is the perfect end for Fitz's story. The entire party, not including Elliania and Peottre, band together to free the dragon with the help of Chade's explosives. Me resulta complicado, por no decir imposible, expresar lo que Hobb me hace sentir a través de Traspié y el Bufón, Burrich, Molly, Kettricken.

Things picked up a lot from the second book in this trilogy, and this conclusion to the Tawny Man series became highly entertaining and compelling. Not to mention that I hate it, HATE IT, when authors use death as a way out of having to solve problems like an adult, and the way everything else was handled in the aftermath was just a trainwreck and made me not like some of my babies as I used to.
