dwheeler88 's review for:

Fool's Fate by Robin Hobb
3.0

The tawny many trilogy was pretty unsatisfying for me. The books were all much longer than they needed to be, and character development was either non existent, or completely abrupt.

Chade became a bossy know it all.

Fitz miraculously has a change of heart once he gets what he lost back from the girl on the dragon; don’t mind the fact that he was the same in the first trilogy as he was in this trilogy, clearly his lack of life is because of what he gave to the stone.

What was the point of Thick’s ongoing sea sickness and fear of boats? Just so that he had a reason to stay behind with Fitz? So that Fitz could connect him to Nettle? That always felt so forced.

Why Dutiful needed to marry an outsider is still so far beyond me. Seems to me they should have focused on their own lands for a while.

I feel like the author created a huge issue in the creation of this world if people can be brought back from the dead whenever.

I wish Fitz never went back to Molly. Suddenly, after his interaction with girl on a dragon he is back to being 15 yr old Fitz.

The black man was a nice touch. I liked how he played into the story. As all Hobb books have gone so far the last 100-200 have all the meat and are compelling page turners but overall, the book was just ok.
