In this final volume of the series, Fitz, the Fool, and their companions continue on their travels to rescue Fitz’s daughter Bee from her abduction by the Servants from the far-off island of Clerres, home of the Fool’s prophetic people. Narration is shared between Fitz and Bee, who fights hard to survive her harsh captivity and becomes ever stronger with the wolf Nighteye’s mental companionship. The resolution won for them is hard fought, and as always, Fitz suffers much before he is allowed to rest. The entire Fitz and the Fool series has read to me as if Hobb is saying farewell to the world she has created through all the books she has written over the years. In the previous novel, Fitz and the others met the characters of the Rain Wilds Chronicles, and in this one, they join forces with people from the Liveship Traders books. Brashen, Althea, Paragon the liveship and more join Fitz on his quest to avenge Bee. This volume presents some exciting developments in regard to the nature of the liveships and their relationship to dragons, too. This is a long book. At times it’s gripping, but anyone who craves constant action might find some parts of it a bit of a struggle. Travel isn’t always very exciting, and much of the book is spent simply getting to Clerres. (There’s plenty of action once they get there, though.) Fitz also maintains his habit of introspection and worry over his role and how he might fail the Fool and all the others he cares for, something that doesn’t really lend itself to rapid pacing. The end of the novel is both right and emotionally wrenching. The resolution of the partnership of Fitz, the Fool, and Nighteyes is perfect both in regard to the special bond shared by the three of them and in how it connects back to their early adventures. At the same time, the way Hobb gets them to that point was hard for me to read because I’ve come to love these characters so much. She gives us George R. R. Martin levels of physical suffering toward the end of the book, and I wanted better for Fitz. Yet that ending also allows Hobb to show the profound impact Fitz's life has had in a way that's very moving. It really is all very masterfully written and shows Hobb at her very best as an author. If you have eagerly followed Fitz’s story over the years, this book is a necessary read and very highly recommended. Just keep those tissues handy. An ARC of this novel was provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. And then I bought it, because I had to have it.

The ending was a perfect wrap up of the whole story and the characters all grew through each adventure. A fantastic story well worth your time to read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sad but satisfied *by K***R on May 25, 2017* This is a series that has to be read in its entirety to be appreciated. The three trilogies dealing with Fits and the Fool are the most satisfying, and I must admit that at first I viewed the Liveship and Dragon series as interruptions. Realizing that a universe was being created put those two intervening series in perspective. Much has been written about Fitz's inability to learn. He learned. He learned that he was always left behind. Left by Verify, Nighteyes, Burrich. Molly, and especially his Beloved. Two things gave me hope that things would work out for him in the end, Nighteyes reaction when the Fool returned in the Tawney Man series ("We are whole again.") and the cube the Fool left behind for Fritz. Being the Fool's Catalyst always made him feel that he was mainly a tool, not the true friend he wanted to be. He lived with constant doubt that he never was or would be enough. He found peace in his later years with Molly, but Molly died and left him with a child he didn't understand and didn't know how to interact. He did the best he could. He was witted, he had the Skill, but he was human and always left behind. This book brought everything full circle. The child with whom he had the least relationship, Bee, was, at the last the person who understood him best. She had been kidnapped, abused, beaten, maimed, and came out stronger for it. She was the new White Prophet and she had the Skill. She would be trained by Verity's queen, she had Per by her side, and was the perfect combination of her two father's, Fits and the Fool. The true path had been found. Dragons and Elderlings were again alive and prospering, wrongs had been righted and avenged, the evil of Clerres had been destroyed. After carving his Nighteyes Dragon, Fritz could finally ask for what he really wanted, that the Fool show him that he was more than just a Catalyst and never leave him again. The Fool could finally show what he meant by there being "no limits" between them and enter the Nighteyes Dragon with him making them both enough. As nighters said long ago,We are whole again." The ending is perfect. Read the entire series. You'll understand and appreciate good story telling. Well done, Miss Hobb. It's been along and satisfying ride.
