Fool's Fate
by Robin Hobb
I just love how well written the Fool is. I know so little of him and so little is said out loud of how he feels or thinks, but when he is hurting emotionally you hurt for him too. It's so easy to understand him while not having a clue about what's going on through his mind.
As for Fitz, I feel for him. He never seems to find the right moment to do something or the right action to take, and everyone seems to blame it all on him, as if everyone else were perfect. Really, people. I'm not justifying any of his actions (though many are justifiable), but c'mon! You wouldn't do better were you in his place. So, shut up and understand a man.
Chade. Chade. Chade I wanted to strangle from the beginning to the end of the trilogy. Such a selfish prick. He loves hiding behind the "For the good of the Farseer reign" banner, but anything and everything he does seems to be for his self interest. Any benefit to the Farseers in general is a byproduct of his gain somehow. I'm glad that in the end Fitz managed to slowly wriggle power from Chade's hands to pass it on to Dutiful. Kudos. For any good intention Chade had, he never had any qualms at all at spending Fitz in the process.
Happy ending. Yay! That's something Hobb doesn't fail to deliver, and well deserved for us readers who've endured all the pain of seeing your beloved characters suffer 9/10 of the saga until you get to the resolution.
