Got to write something about this trilogy. An incredible set of book, Hobbs writing of Fitz is unwaveringly exceptional. It's hard to think of another character who feels so real. He is constantly fucking up, and her writing of his inner life and the way that his mistakes arise from a complex mix of his personal flaws, his traumas and the pressures of the world he lives in is makes him endlessly fascinating.
Hobb also does a phenomenal job of exploring how the structures and cultures that we are born into, the ones we affirm, and the ones we reject, for good reasons and bad shape who we are, how we act and how we connect to each other. So perfectly distilled that it is timeless.

The ending felt a bit messy and almost rushed, but overall I felt it was fitting for this series and these characters. I am not perfectly happy with how certain events played out, but that also fits because a theme I always got from the Duchie books is that life can be cruel just do your best to focus on the good when it is granted. In one hand, pain and struggle, in the other hand, joy and peace.
That said, I cannot begin to explain how angry many of the characters made me. Mostly Chade. Fuck Chade. The constant insistence that this is how things are because that is how it has always been was pushed by two characters in Fitz's life that shaped him to also see things that way and to start pushing that on other characters in his life just pissed me off. I yelled at my book a lot and I actually don't do that very often.
