Description

Robin Hobb’s most popular hero, assassin and “beast magic” master FitzChivalry Farseer, returns in this stunning trilogy—an epic of sacrifice, salvation, and untold treachery. For the first time, this convenient eBook bundle brings together all three of the Tawny Man novels:
 
FOOL’S ERRAND
GOLDEN FOOL
FOOL’S FATE
 
For fifteen years Fitz has lived in self-imposed exile, assumed to be dead by almost all who once cared about him. But now, into his isolated life, visitors begin to arrive: Fitz’s mentor from his assassin days; a hedge-witch who foresees the return of a long-lost love; and the Fool, the former White Prophet, who beckons Fitz to fulfill his destiny.
 
Then comes the summons he cannot ignore. Prince Dutiful, the young heir to the Farseer throne, has vanished. Fitz, possessed of magical skills both royal and profane, is the only one who can retrieve him in time for his betrothal ceremony, thus sparing the Six Duchies profound political embarrassment . . . or worse. But even Fitz does not suspect the web of treachery that awaits him—or how his loyalties will be tested to the breaking point.

    The story is phenomenal and I imagine I will read this book again. My complaint is that several chapters (5 or more) in the third book, end abruptly in the middle of a sentence. Other pages have text on top of text, making it unreadable.

    RH writes a compelling and complex trilogy, with characters from other series "dropping in" to remind the reader there are more stories prior/adjacent/subsequent to the one you are currently reading. Each book easily stands alone, but the layers of actions and the inabilities of characters to see the whole picture remind one of the writing style of George R R Martin. Fitz and the Fool feel unfinished, both separating to pursue their own lives, one returning to his prophet school and the other newly married-surely that's not the end of this dynamic duo? The Wit is such an interesting premise, bonding with an animal partner for both the beneficial and negative results is a fascinating twist to a "save the world" fantasy quest.
