These things combined to make my progress glacial. It's also really long. A slow book is not a bad book. Because Hobb is building on characters whose lives have been shown to us across decades in both their existence and ours she has built a bedrock of goodwill that allows me to enjoy the story at the pace she chooses to take it.
What it means though is that I am not compelled back to the p [spoilers for book 1] It took me 10 weeks to read this book. What it means though is that I am not compelled back to the page by an urgent desire to know what follows the last thrill or spill, rather I'm brought back to it by the return of my appetite for the nostalgia and melancholia that fills many of the chapters.
None of this is to say there isn't a strong story here. There is! Or that there isn't action. Just that it is heavily leavened with the pasts and personalities of characters we know very well.
And this is part of its charm. As is so often the case for Fitz the story is often driven by misunderstandings that the reader can see through and missed opportunities that we yell at him to take. And of course he suffers! Always the suffering. Though it never leads him to the dark side whatever Yoda may have to say on the subject Much of the book is about waiting.
We get the story from Bee's side of the equation as she is hauled off across the winter wonderland that is Buck. And her story is a lot about waiting to get where they are going. And we get the story from Fitz as he waits for news, waits for the Fool, waits to give chase, and waits to get match fit.
There are very few authors who can get me to tolerate considerable detail spent on clothing, gifts, feasting and just plain organizing stuff.
I guess that if you write well enough then anything goes. Don't do that. As usual Fitz puts us through the emotional wringer, and not with cheap writing tricks but in a mature way that people who have lived, loved, and seen children grow, will resonate with.

Robin Hobb spends the entirety of the first book creating character investment and sympathy. In the second she unleashes the said emotions in, what is always, the most exciting and emotional book in the series. The third is what I like to think of as a clean-up job. Hobb brings it all together and provides a spectacular conclusion to the masses of build-up she has created. It is a structure I like, and in this book it is emphasised because it is the third time she has done it with these characters.
So, the emotions are very high. This should have been a time for celebration and warm welcomes, instead in was a time for heart ache and tragedy. The Fool is on his death bed, and no hope of renewed health is in sight.
Fitz is clueless to who has stolen his daughter, though it is, of course, obvious to the reader. He has no idea where to begin his hunt, and his once pragmatic mind is clouded by one simple emotion, rage.
He wants to destroy those who have dared to defile his home, and he wants to get his daughter back with no thought to the cost it may have on him.
You are Prince FitzChivalry Farseer and we will make them pay with every drop of their blood. He has become old and unfit, but he still has the heart of a warrior. He is no longer capable of what he once was, and it takes the advice of his old mentor, and trusted friend, Chade, to make him realise that the only way to get Bee back is through the cold and calculated approach of an assassin.
Whilst Chade tempers caution, the Fool tempers action. Fitz becomes torn between the approach of his mentor and the advice of his oldest friend. One of my favourite Farseer books so far Robin Hobb really teased me in this novel.
Fitz lost Nighteyes many moons ago, but twice she provides a possibility for Fitz to form a new wit bond; twice, she teases of a new direction his life could take, and may take in the future. Then to top it off in the last chapter she suggests that Bee may find shelter under the wing of someone long departed.
I think if this is the case this trilogy will end in a bizarrely spectacular way, like the two trilogies before it. Also, some of the major characters from The Rain Wild Chronicles and The Liveship Traders trilogies reappear at the end of this novel, which could only end in more obstacles in the path between Fitz and his Bee, and, more importantly, work dragons back into the plot. I loved this book. I read it quicker than any of her previous books, which is saying something because this numbers amongst the longest.
I just want to read it again. This is the eighth book in the series now and, for me, they just keep getting better. It will be a sad, and marvellous, day when this series is completely ended.

Fool's Quest FItz and the Fool, 2 Realm of the Elderlings, 15 by Robin Hobb It's a great story, much better than the first book in this final trilogy and with some satisfying and tragic moments.
As always, Hobb provides another surprising journey. In this book, two of my beloved characters- Fitz and Fool-return together and started their mission to find their daughter and destroy White Prophets. Here Fool is portrayed as a more tragic character who tries to pull himself out of his misery.
And Fool's Quest FItz and the Fool, 2 Realm of the Elderlings, 15 by Robin Hobb It's a great story, much better than the first book in this final trilogy and with some satisfying and tragic moments.
And that was such a saddening moment. This book is so good, and it is difficult to put down Sorrow and loss never die. We can put them away in a chest and lock it tight, but whenever it is opened, even a crack, the aroma of lost sweetness will rise to fill our lungs to heaviness.
This situation never happened to me. I read the first half within three days and the second half of the book within a day. Yes, significant differences there in terms of the story being compelling and addictive. The Fitz and The Fool could seriously end up being the best trilogy she ever wrote. Time to see whether this trilogy will end with a bang or not. View all 12 comments. RTC as soon as I can function properly, which might be long enough for you to have grandchildren.
You know I love you but NO! I missed you! FINA- - Alright. Never mind. It hurts. Flaws and all. He will always be my favorite, OKAY? As it will only take a much deserved reconnaissance for me to cry.
My poor, poor Fitz. He can appear restless and TSTL, but the thing is, his decisions make sense? Or am I too lenient when it comes to him? Or perhaps I just get him? Maybe I don't really care, honestly , but whatever it is, it shows how great a writer Robin Hobb is. Please don't hurt me. Please don't Alright. It's Robin Hobb. Please don't hurt me too much. Please don't hurt me too much Alright.
It's Fitz. Please don't be stupid. Or careless. Or Okay. Don't die. Is that okay with you? Do what you want, but don't die. And don't kill the Fool. For more of my reviews, please visit This was a classic middle Hobb book.
So much was happening, it would keep you glued to the book, make you keep turning the pages. You would be like "Oh! That's it! Now is the time! This book tells us the journey of Fitz and Fool in quest of the "Unexpected This was a classic middle Hobb book. This book tells us the journey of Fitz and Fool in quest of the "Unexpected Son" while the latter on his own journey to an unknown place.
We see Fitz and Fool rediscovering themselves, their love, and their friendship. We see the scared child slowly learn the magic and use it to survive. We meet the beloved characters from LivShip trilogy and not so likable from Rain Wild.
I was happy to meet the ships but the keepers were another story. Story's pace will put a snail to shame but Hobb does such a fantastic job with the drama that you won't even realize it is moving at such slow pace.
Whenever Fitz starts to delve into his past and torture himself with what could be had he done this or that or how did not he see it coming or why did he always end up hurting and losing the people whom he loved the most.
I mean I have read this and much more in last 7 books featuring Fitz as the protagonist and yet it never gets old. I was weary of a whining young Fitz but this grown up man has put a spell on me and the more he tortures himself, the more I am in awe of him. Fitz you have turned me into a sadistic fool for you but hey I am not complaining.
Any praise of this book will be incomplete without the Fool. A man on the doorstep of death at the end of Fool's Assassin to a man adamant to avenge the death of his child, we see a drastic change in him here. It was painful to read about the tortures that Fool has borne which not only damaged his body but did a solid job of breaking his mind and soul.
He was broken and vulnerable like a child, every scene featuring him was full of emotions. He was stubborn, almost mad with his obsession to kill the people who harmed him and his child. It was amazing to see him embark on a journey where his death is evident, with no one to help him and yet he trod on. I have never seen him like this. He used to be subtle whenever he had to change the fate through his catalyst but here he has this single object that he was hell bent on achieving, means be damned.
This was probably the best middle book in Realm of the Elderlings. If you have not started this series yet I think its high time that you pick Assassin's Apprentice and start this amazing journey.

Seriously this book was so amazingly good that I now sit here writing and knowing that I will never be able to put down in words how fantastic the book is.
For everyone that has read Rob Hobb before and not yet read this book or the one before will I say that you will love this series, the books just keep getting better and better and Hobb still knows how to surp And here comes the real review, not just updates of my desperate attempt to get the book For everyone that has read Rob Hobb before and not yet read this book or the one before will I say that you will love this series, the books just keep getting better and better and Hobb still knows how to surprise her readers.
To those that have never Read a Hobb book, do it, hell do it even if you are not a fantasy fan. They are well written, the story will pull you in completely. Just start with The Farseer trilogy, of course, always best to start from the beginning.
Anyway, this book is better than the first book in The Fitz and the Fool trilogy, but that doesn't make the first book bad, this one just has a lot more action it, more going ones, more Fool. And, having Fitz and the Fool reunited again was just was marvelous as in Fool's Errand the first book in the Tawny Man trilogy when they met again after several years apart. This book story continues the story from the first book with the Fool hurt and dying and Fitz tries to save him, but it seems futile, but you should never say never and solutions can show up where you least expect them.
And, little Bee, Fitz daughter has been taken, but it will take some time for Fitz to know that, but when he does, then he will do everything in his power to get his daughter back and punish the bad people behind the kidnapping. This book is around pages long, but it could have been twice as many pages because it is so good, it is never boring, the pace is just perfect, not a single thing that happens in the book is boring, no skimming of the text, hell there are moments when I had to reread sentence because they are so good written and they go straight to my heart.
I have lived with the story, with Fitz and the Fool and the rest of the characters for a couple of days and now I have to leave it for a while and it is almost painful to not have more to read. Luckily for me, I still have some books written by Hobb that I still haven't read, alas no Fitz and Fool book waiting, but I can always reread the earlier books with them if I want to. Thank you for your interest in this Del Rey title.
At the moment we're limiting access to this galley. So now I hope that I will get a much nicer mail from Edelweiss May 08, I was going to add a link to a review I have written on NG, but then I saw what had been added since I last visit I so want this book now!
My goodness, how had I forgotten just how much of a cliffhanger this story is left on?! For me, whilst book 1 of this series is full of heartbreak, surprises, tense moments and big shocks, this one is far more subtle.
We follow some of our old favourite characters, and we get to see some of the big questions we have been pondering get revealed in curious and exciting ways. I loved the fact that this book gave us so many moments alone with Fitz because he is definitely the driving force of this whole series.
We get to see him as he fights with himself over mistakes he has made and battles he feels he lost. He has certainly been through a lot of horrendous stuff and this book proves just how tough things can get and how depression can seep in. What I really enjoyed was seeing Fitz taking action and doing things to help himself and those who need him. He's always a character who bounces back and manages to have resilience, but Fitz is OLD by this story and theres always a lingering question of will he make it?
Will he be okay? I really enjoy it when Hobb manages to weave various plotlines together from previous series and the Rain Wild books and the events within them definitely have a big part to play in the latter half of this book so you get to see what has happened since the ending of their story to some of the characters from that Rain Wilds, and also exactly how they tie into the larger arc of Fitz. I just fully enjoyed this story and have been rather sad since finishing it up because I know it means that I don't have any more Realm of the Elderlings books to read now a pretty sad thing and I will have to eagerly await the next book in the series with all of my buddy reading friends who are also sad about having to wait.
