Icefyre has passed into legend and not many believe in his existence but the Fool knows that he exists and informs Fitz that for the world to shift to a better place, Icefyre must live. Edit 2: I know I initially said I was going to give this four stars but I feel like I have to bump it up to a 5 or at least a 4. Along the way, he encounters the Pale Woman, whose hands are missing, and ignores her attempts to goad him to kill her, leaving her to die instead.
despite the few problems I had with it, solely due to the fact that I CANT STOP thinking about this damn book. He has sacrificed everything for the Farseer throne, his blood, his youth and even his life have been shed so it seems only appropriate to see him sheath his daggers and hang up his axe even if it is for a short time. The Narcheska has set the prince an unfathomable task: to behead a dragon trapped in ice on the isle of Aslevjal. Considering how the majority of the fans—especially booktubers—claimed this is by far Hobb’s best book, I expected more out of it and I was slightly disappointed by how it turned out for me.After understanding that the best course of action is to let the Hetguard decide for themselves what needs to be done, the prince and his closer court travel to the Narcheska's motherhouse, while the other nobles remain to form trade deals. The Witted Coterie are helpful in locating him but as the digging gets deeper are unhappy about the idea of killing the dragon. I didn’t expect this to become one of the very few 6/5 stars books on my personal shelves, but I did expect this to deserved a full 5 stars rating. When Fitz was in a bad place after almost dying in Assassin's Quest, he needed a lifeline, Burrich should have told him then that Molly was pregnant with his child but he never did and vice versa he never told Molly that Fitz survived the dungeons so to her he died then, he is even more guilty than Molly. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book.
She's got an ability to lay down all the words and from them you can draw out a living and breathing world within your head. Sometimes it seems unfair that events so old can reach forward through the years, sinking claws into one's life and twisting all that follows it. Not to mention that I hate it, HATE IT, when authors use death as a way out of having to solve problems like an adult, and the way everything else was handled in the aftermath was just a trainwreck and made me not like some of my babies as I used to. This also had some of my favorite falling action sections I can ever remember, and I can see how it would have been suitable as a place to end the series -- but I'm supremely glad she decided to continue the tale!Before leaving for the frozen island where Icefyre is supposed to be, they learn of a legend involving the Black Man. In the Fool's Fate, Fitz is trying to prevent the Fool from getting into the ship leaving for the island of Aslevjal. The world building and writing is one of Hobb's strong point and she didn't disappoint, I thought the previous book was good, this is way better. Fool’s Fate is the conclusion to the Tawny Man trilogy and as far as I know, it is by far the most highly praised book among Hobb’s big fans. Swift, Burrich and Molly's son, is part of it and is torn between his loyalty to the prince and his loyalty to the coterie.
