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.
