I have loved the conclusion of The Farseer Trilogy from the first time I've read it (even though the ending has always feel rushed), but I'm not the same person I was some ten years ago when I first read it. Still, the book has grown with me, and my understanding and love for it has only deepened. I do think Robin Hobb mainly strings together an account of Fitz's brushes with death, but she does so with heart-wrenching prose and meaningful conversations that ring ever so true.
TW : mention of stillbirth.

For those of you who don't know me, the Realm of the Elderlings (RotE) is a series that means everything to me. It's impossible to review something I love and adore as much as I do. Anything I say about this book won't encapsulate the overall feeling and story, so I'm not going to do my normal routine (fully).
This is the third and final book in the Farseer trilogy and the third book in the overall RotE series and it picks up right where the second book left off. Fitz is recovering from the events of the last book with the help of Chade and Burrich and once he's well enough again, he goes off on a quest to seek revenge against the one who took everything from him, but ends up being commanded by his king to go to him and things go from there.
Every element I normally do in my breakdowns (writing, plot, characters and world building) is just phenomenal. Hobb's characters and world building in particular are some of the best I've read. It's not a simple act of reading these books, you live them.

Truly incredible.
After the second book, I was worried about this one but it’s easily the best. Could it have been two books? Yes, but honestly just a fantastic book and so great to see all the threads come together.
