"That's the trouble with making a decision. You never know if it's right until after you've done it. But it is what adults are supposed to do. Make decisions. And then live with them."

Thick: "So this was our adventure. And the prince and the princess get married and live happily ever after, with many children to warm them in their old age."
Fitz: "Perhaps. Perhaps."
Thick: "What happens to the rest of us?"

Fool: "Do you ever get over it? Did you ever get past it?"
Fitz: "No. You don't. I didn't. You won't. But you do go on. It becomes a part of you, like any scar. You will go on."

"He says that when you let go and follow your fate instead of trying to twist your life around and master it, a man finds that happiness follows him."

A spectacular conclusion to an amazing trilogy. I'm so sad that it's over. I'll miss Fitz as a 30-something-year-old like me. Now I guess it's time to wait for me to turn 50 so that I can read the final trilogy (lol jk). My heart shattered to a million pieces during the course of reading this and was put back together again with permanent scars marring it. I will never forget how amazing this trilogy was!

I do wish that

the Fitz and Molly renewed love story could have gone on longer, perhaps even given it a novella or something.

But in either case, it was a lovely ending that Fitz so definitely deserved!

Oh wow! Such an amazing ending to this trilogy. I was so sad and so happy at times and how many story threads came together. I am in awe of Hobb‘s ability to write characters and their relationships with so many nuances.

Whilst my favourite farseer book is still Fool's Errand, this book probably has my favourite ending (and by ending I mean the last 5th of it). I adored the Fool's story in this Trilogy and I will miss it.

Cried so much during this book. Heartbroken…. To think a trilogy named for the tawny man would end so sadly for him… I feel like a cored apple and somehow have to get through more books after this… This book alone was such an emotional rollercoaster I’m exhausted and empty inside and also I miss the Fool so bad already it’s so painful to read about Fitz being content without him while I still have that heartbreaking poem running through my head…

I adored this book. It was a brilliant epic fantasy and the most heartbreaking, gorgeous love story that I have ever read. I was enraptured the entire time. The plot, the characters, everything was absolutely captivating. There was so much going on that when I was partially through, I couldn’t believe that this book would be able to tie up everything in a satisfying way, but it DID. 100000/10. (It’s taking all my strength not to skip to the next trilogy to keep up with these characters, but I learned my lesson from skipping Liveship Traders! I will not be skipping another chunk of the series.)
