Fool’s Quest (Fitz and the Fool, Book 2)

Product Information

He is only partially successful and understands that Ellik agreed to follow the Servants and help them find the Unexpected Son for gold and in hope of regaining his status as heir to the Chaldean throne. In fact, one of my few regrets (although I completely understand, because these books can only be so long and she's just not part of the plot that much) is that we get to see so little of her. But they have also remained damaged, fallible, prone to overreaction, and yet enormously entertaining.

If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. Eliannia helps them marry, and recognizes Nettle and Riddle's unborn child and thinks it will be a girl. While this book definitely feels like the most "middle book" out of the three "Fitz" middle books in the series (i. Chade is way too mad about Fitz not protecting Shun for someone just casually interested in what becomes of her. And when he finally decides to sacrifice his life on a Fool's quest, he even leaves the Fool behind, fully intending to go at it alone.Also, Lant, Perseverance, and Riddle wanting to accompany Fitz and Fitz being super annoyed about it is so wholesome 🥰 And now he drugged them! 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.

Realizing some sort of skill spell has been placed on them, Chade and Fitz revive the staff's memory with elfbark tea. He does not want to have her as a wit-partner, but Fleeter is very interested in having a relationship and converses with him. I understand the need to be in the right mood for this sort of fantasy – that’s probably why it has taken me nearly ten years to work through this series!This book definitely does suffer a bit from the middle book syndrome, but knowing that Robin Hobb literally always delivers on her final book it made it much more bearable than with other authors that have either failed to deliver in the past, or haven't proven themselves yet.

Following directly upon the events of the previous installment (Fool's Assassin) and ending in a double-whammy of a cliffhanger. Of course Fente and Sintara would be squabbling over who gets to shape Thymara and Tats’ child rather than helping her. And Fitz’s reaction to the Fool saying Bee is also his daughter is so wonderfully Fitzy, and the Fool’s reaction so wonderfully Fooly! And this, guys, is why I love the Fool 😂 His sense of humor is on point, he is knows matters a lot to Fitz and is continuously supportive, but unlike Fitz, he also immediately grasps the reality of what being a Prince entails and that painting crows is probably not part of it.Fitz finds the Servants camp in disarray with many of the soldiers dead - apparently killed each other - some of the Servants dead and Bee and Shun gone.

Feared that it would alarm him to be touched and feared even more that it would draw me tighter into his misery and wake my own. Lingering near you would only provoke other changes is the world, changes that might be far less desirable. For reasons I can't fathom, many people seem to skip the excellent Liveship Traders series and more have skipped the quite enjoyable Rainwild Chronicles. This should have been a time for celebration and warm welcomes, instead in was a time for heart ache and tragedy. Suspending my disbelief over how totally out of shape Fitz and Chade won that fight, seeing their assassin training kick back in feels totally in character.

Nightly, he urged me to leave, pointing out what I knew: that together you and I had already worked the change that was my mission. Fortunately, Hobb is tying all the related novels of this fully-realized world and is bringing all of the Fool's other guizes in different lands together in a truly spectacular way. Fitz is at Buck keep dealing with the results of mistaken identity while Bee is at Withy held captive. The magic makes more sense than ever before, is used in a more important fashion, and is fun when it is utilized without feeling overpowered.
