About this ebook

‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer Trilogy.

With the king no longer living and the heir, Verity, missing and declared dead, Prince Regal has treacherously seized the throne.

Regal’s torture has left Fitz more dead than alive, and more closely than ever bonded with his wolf. All who once loved him believe him dead: even Molly, now pregnant with his child. But he cannot go to her without placing her in terrible danger.

With nothing to lose, Fitz sets out for Tradeford, where Regal has withdrawn, having heartlessly abandoned the north of the kingdom to the Red-Ship Raiders. His quest: to assassinate the man who has destroyed his world.

I enjoyed the first 2 but this felt rushed, almost like a rough draft. The characters all lost what made them interesting. Fitz's devil may care attitude became oblivious idiot. The Fool became just as useless, lost his intrigue & mystery. Verity lost all nobility & became mindlessly devoted to a rock! Even the final battle and Elderlings were really poorly done, almost like an after thought. And editing! Last few chapters... spell check people.

Enjoyed the trilogy but was a little disappointed with this final installment. Despite the book being approximately 900 pages the ending felt rushed. I felt that too much was wasted on Fitz's journey and it could have been condensed. Similarly with Verity and the rock. I was hoping for a big finale but it was all wrapped up in a few pages.

Writing was good. Didn't much like the ending, it seemed so much effort went into the beginning but the ending was raced. I love the idea of the Wit though, (all lives intertwined). There were a few thing i didn't think made sense. First 2 novels to the series were GREAT!!

About the author

Robin Hobb is one of the world’s finest writers of epic fiction.She was born in California in 1952 but raised in Alaska, where she learned how to raise a wolf cub, to skin a moose and to survive in the wilderness. When she married a fisherman who fished herring and the Kodiak salmon-run for half the year, these skills would stand her in good stead. She raised her family, ran a smallholding, delivered post to her remote community, all at the same time as writing stories and novels. She succeeded on all fronts, raising four children and becoming an internationally best-selling writer. She lives in Tacoma, Washington State.
