This was awesome, but I definitely need a break from giant fantasy series now!

What's this? A happy ending? What a wonderful adventure, deserving of its size. Hobb learns when to slow down and when to speed up the pace of the book. As usual, it's not perfect, as in beginning but the wheels that turn build up to a fitting end to Fitz' story (for now, at least) and bittersweet for others. Nothing in life comes easily.
I will miss these books when I finish them all, miss discovering this story for the first time.

Robin Hobb can do no wrong. Each trilogy gets better and better and this was a masterpiece.

I'm still thinking about the ending, Fitz getting back his most painful memories and deepest rage, and taking more pleasure in life afterward; their lack had diminished him. I'm not sure I really believe it; I've had enough injuries that pain holds no romance for me. But I keep thinking about it just the same.

Another Robin Hobb book, another 5 Star rating. I love these books. LOVE them. I don't really have a lot to say that I've not already said. I love how the interplay between all the characters is so complicated, but not confusingly so. I love all the different levels to all the relationships. I just love them.

The Tawny Man series was perfection. My heart was in my throat the whole last book. Knowing that I have 7 books left in the RotE gives me comfort but I tread forward warily. Robin Hobb, you destroy me in all the right ways. I'm already eternally grateful.
