Summary: Better than I could have hoped!
Comment: This is by far one of the best and most satisfying novels (of any genre) I have ever read! I have read scores of fantasy novels and I can't say enough about this beautiful and intricate storyline. Robin Hobb has done a masterful job in continuing the story of FitzChivalry Farseer.
Never have I had an author take me through so many clearly drawn emotions. Trilogy endings rarely live up to their predecessors. . . this one does. You do need to read the first two books, and preferably, the entire first trilogy as well. This is the only way to fully capture the story being drawn. These are characters who will live forever to me. I can't recommend this novel strongly enough! This is what storytelling should be.

Summary: great book - made me reconsider my 4 knife policy
Comment: It made me - a very macho commie stabber - all sissified. I like the character of the fool and of the assasin. This book brought the trilogy to an awesome conculsion. You know how people say endings are always stupid because they are too simple or too complex or unrealistic? Well, this book made me recosider that. I had closure.
I wish the author had more courage to write about what actual fools and assasins do, and not to sissify the book with feelings. But I guess feelings is good once in a while. I'll need to take a bath though.

Summary: Satisfying wrapping of the threads
Comment: Robin Hobb writes very quickly. Some places in this final volume of the second trilogy show that she could use a bit of editting. However, the story carries you past the rough parts with ease. The relationships that we have come to care so much about from earlier volumes are all given solid conclusions. Hobb lingers just the right amount of time with each. Although some feel a bit contrived, it is easy to forgive her for she and we are saying goodbye to friends that we have cared about for 3000 pages.
At times the story is exciting and mysterious. At times the story is introspective and romantic. While on the surface this book is about a Prince's quest to slay a dragon, the book is really about making new beginnings from scarred endings. Hobb does a masterful job of carrying the symbolism of scars and scarring throughout the book. There are some surprises here and some people we have not seen since the first trilogy return.
Highly recommend this volume if you like the series and recommend the series if you like fantasy with some thought in it.
