Fool’s Fate is also the first book where I think Hobb finally nailed writing great action sequences.

She's a master of making the characters become real people who you feel like you know and feel like you understand. As usual things didn't go according to plans, not only was the dragon buried hundreds of feet in the ice that also have oppositions.There are parts of this book that are SO lovely, SO emotional, and SO insightful into the human condition. She also plays with the advantages and limits of first-person narration in a way that’s so much fun for anyone who enjoys thinking about how stories are constructed. Along the way, he encounters the Pale Woman, whose hands are missing, and ignores her attempts to goad him to kill her, leaving her to die instead. He has sacrificed everything for the Farseer throne, his blood, his youth and even his life have been shed so it seems only appropriate to see him sheath his daggers and hang up his axe even if it is for a short time. A small and sadly untried coterie - the old assassin Chade, the serving-boy Thick, Prince Dutiful, and his reluctant Skillmaster, Fitz - sail towards the distant island of Aslevjal.

For he knows that if he stays with him, he would alter the future of happiness that he foresaw for Fitz. Thick behaves strangely the closer they dig to the dragon and Chade decides to send Fitz, the Fool and Thick back to camp to find out what happened to Riddle and Hest and bring supplies.

Where else does it take place, where else do we add up what it means to us and subtract what we have lost? The experience of reading of a Robin Hobb book is one to be cherished; there are no safer hands that you could place your leisure time in. Before leaving for the frozen island where Icefyre is supposed to be, they learn of a legend involving the Black Man.

These two will genuinely be the death of me, all these scenes and more had me in a wreck, I mean like sobbing my eyes out at 2AM and waking up the next day with puffy eyes. Anyways I’m going to speed my way through the rain wild chronicles so that I can get to the fitz and the fool trilogy! And then a sentence that is so meaningfully poignant (maybe not to all but it was to me as someone who had left their war-ravaged country) would come up that would resonate me with so hard, I probably was tearing up here at some point. Having abandoned the Fool in Buckkeep, Fitz is guilt-stricken; but determined to keep the fate of his beloved friend at bay, since prophecy foretells the Fool’s death if he ever sets foot on the isle of the black dragon.As we drew closer to the bay, the railing became crowded as we all stared toward our destination and the solitary ominous figure that awaited us there. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Better, perhaps, that we make a space between us and become accustomed to it before fate forces that upon us.

I swear there was this chapter near the end where I was despairingly sobbing my heart out one page and then I was smiling like crazy and joyously sobbing my heart out the next, TRUE STORY. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. Fitz convinces everyone that they will use Chade's explosives to blow up the ice around the dragon and then kill it. The whole trilogy left a feeling of the bloated fourth volume of The Farseer Trilogy where all loose ends are being tied up.She also had Elliania tattooed with the dragon and serpent and this is how she is able to control the Narcheska and her family. I didn’t expect this to become one of the very few 6/5 stars books on my personal shelves, but I did expect this to deserved a full 5 stars rating. The moving end to the tale of the Farseers, in which kingdoms must stand or fall on the beat of a dragon's wings, or a Fool's heart.
