You know when you haven’t seen a friend in years and you finally reconnect and it’s like no time has passed at all....that’s how this trilogy has been.

This collection is my all time favorite. I recommend it to anyone interested in the genre or looking for an amazing read.

Fitz’s story comes to an end and it ends the only way it could have. A right ending. Overall, another excellent book. The last third is both pulse-pounding and heart wrenching. I do wish I’d read the Liveship Trilogy prior to this book as the first two thirds felt very much like I was missing something (many characters and places from the Liveship stories appear here) and I think I would have given the book 5 stars if I hadn’t been confused with the new cast of characters I felt like I was supposed to know and didn’t.

Fitz, Nighteyes, the Fool, and many others have become like old friends. These are books that will stay with me.

This book is the perfect finish to the best fantasy series I have ever read. Can't say much more than that.

After 2.5 years, I finished the last book in The Realm of the Elderling series. I liked that this book brought everything together forth at was building throughout the series. Many characters get cameos and of course Fitz and the Fool get their conclusion. I also appreciated the drawn out conclusion that gave you a chance to say goodbye to the characters and delivers a satisfying, if incredibly bittersweet ending.

An incredible end to what I predict will always be my favourite series. Hobb finishes every plot in the most satisfying way, as always. I am so glad I spent so much of my time and emotions with these characters.

The most beautifully written, prefect conclusion to a series I've ever read.
