Summary: I love these books!
Review: Robin Hobb is one of the most amazing authors whose books I have ever read, especially compared to modern fantasy writers. The characters are so complex and multifaceted and so are the plots. I found myself in fool's fate and in the liveship series completely emotionally attached. Honestly, I have to say that Fitz is not my favorite character. I love the Fool and I love all of the secrets that come with the Fool. I love the way that Hobb works all three series together. It's fantastic and a breath of fresh air for those of us who don't want to read 10-book long fantasy series that all follow the same format. I was sad when this book was over, because it really was the end.... Maybe Hobb will write about the Vestrits and the Liveships again??

Summary: Fool's Fate
Review: The Tawny Man is by far Robin Hobb's best series and Fool's Fate is by far her best work. Highly recommended.

Summary: Happily ever after?
Review: The Tawny Man series was phenomenal. Hobb built on the simpler foundation laid in the original trilogy, and made the story and the characters so much more complex and enriched. Fitz's continual rediscovery and reinvention of himself is a great read, and many other characters are revealed in a new light as all the bits of story begin to be explained and resolved in this final book.
I recommend this series greatly, as well as the original Farseer Trilogy which should definitely be read first.

Summary: Outstanding Series!
Review: This is absolutely the best fantasy series out there, hands down. I have never been so emotionally wrapped up with a character in a book as I have been with Fitzchivalry. Martin and Jordan who? Give me a break. Not even close, trust me. Accolades to Robin Hobb. Excellent series as a whole, and this book was a great conclusion to it. I couldn't even pick up another book for a week after I finished this one, I knew I wouldn't find anything nearly as good to read!
Keep up the good work, Mrs. Hobb!!!

Summary: STUNNING CONCLUSION TO A WONDERFUL SERIES
Review: Turning the last page in the epilog I was finally able to let out that breath I hadn't even realized I was holding. After reading so many really bad endings to both novels and series lately (what is this, poop on your protagonist decade?) I was almost afraid to read the conclusion to FitzChivalry's story. Well without going into detail that would spoil the ending I will say that as endings go this one is darn good. Not perfect mind you, it's not an easy one, not everybody ends up in the happy ever after, although many do, but all in all considering Fitz's life and the horrendous torture, physical and emotional scaring he lived through this is like a dream come true.In addition to the tight, well thought-out conclusion (thank you Ms. Hobb!), the decent, although somewhat meandering storyline, the strong characters that have been a hallmark of the FitzChivalry saga carry the story to it's finale. For those of you who have been following these two series (it's really just one six book series) you know just how deeply involved you can get, in fact I don't know how you can avoid it, into both the psyche and life of these characters. With each volume you know more about what makes them tick then you probably do about yourself, the word portraits for each are penned just that vividly! Hopefully you have enjoyed it as much as I. For those who have not read the other two volumes in the Tawny Man series or the Farseer trilogy (I'm sorry you really have to read them even though they are arguably three of the most depressing books ever written), STOP! Don't even try to pick this up and understand. Start at the beginning with ASSASSIN'S APPRENTICE and work your way to FOOL'S FATE, if you don't you simply won't know what's going on or why the characters do what they do. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this one.
