What on earth just happened—
Molly got with Barage?? He’s Fitz’s father figure and could be Molly’s father; I can’t TT
Verity turns into a dragon and leaves his dear wife to run the kingdom on her own, after all she did to find him? Tragic. I was as weirded out as Fitz was when Verity uses his body to get Ketrikan pregnant.
Fitz has no happy ending, and I think that’s what upsets me the most. We’ve followed his self-sacrificial butt across 3 books and like 60 hours-worth of reading and he’s left alone in the final chapter, with no fool, no Molly, no Barage, no Nettle, no Chade, just his wolf and some kid that gets dumped on him… and his broken and scarred body.
I don’t even know what to think of that last chapter. I didn’t expect it all to wrap up so quickly, I suppose. Once again I am left wanting for more like an unquenched thirst.
