Fool's Quest, by Robin Hobb

adventurous emotional mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

Well, as expected I started crying pretty early. But what would you expect when the book began with Nighteyes-as-a-pup memories? So many things, so many things had me tearing up in this book. And I'm so looking forward to the next book. I'm loving where we are right now, at Kelsingra, bringing the dragon and Fitz storylines together because all the while I was always wondering how Robin Hobb was going to wrap this series up. I can never predict where Hobb is going to go with her stories, and this is no exception. Fitz is just getting overwhelmed left and right in this installment- from Bee getting kidnapped, to finally being publicly acknowledged as Prince FitzChivalry Farseer, to becoming a hero to the people of Kelsingra. I'm uncertain how we're going to proceed. And also I appreciate all the ladies in this book, none of whom let me down- Bee, Kettricken, Nettle, Elliana, Foxglove, Fleeter, Motley, Spark, etc. Whenever Fitz was making another bullheaded decision, I was always reminded that the ladies are really getting things done.

On a side note, I am so intrigued to see how the Fool is Amber in front of Fitz, who in Tawny Man was so disgusted by the revelation that they were one and the same. He seems comfortable.
