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.

This is the third and final book in the Farseer trilogy and the third book in the overall RotE series and it picks up right where the second book left off. Fitz is recovering from the events of the last book with the help of Chade and Burrich and once he's well enough again, he goes off on a quest to seek revenge against the one who took everything from him, but ends up being commanded by his king to go to him and things go from there.
Every element I normally do in my breakdowns (writing, plot, characters and world building) is just phenomenal. Hobb's characters and world building in particular are some of the best I've read. It's not a simple act of reading these books, you live them.
