Plot: so glad to be back in Fitz's (or Tom's) story. I loved the Liveship Traders trilogy, so I was worried I'd struggle to get back into the Farseer storyline. Nope! Things move really slowly at the start but Hobb is one of a small number of authors that can do this and keep me completely engaged. Fitz had set up an isolated life in a cottage (jealous) with an orphan boy, Hap. He gets some visitors and boom, he's back in Buckkeep to help find Queen Kettricken's son, Prince Dutiful. And because this is a Hobb novel, sad things happen to a dog.
Characters: it's so good to be back in this corner of the Six Duchies. Back with Fitz, Kettricken, Chade and the Fool. The Fool gets more and more interesting with every book, there's so much mystery surrounding him. I love it! Starling has not grown on me at all and a reveal has further cemented that stance. I also can't get on board with Thick either. But I really like Dutiful - his introduction and development was great!
Highlight: "Do all cats speak so rudely to strangers?" Fool's Errand introduced my favourite animal character, Fennel 😺 I adore Fennel. Hobb writes this cat so well and captures the feline sassiness so well! There needs to be more feline characters in this series.
