Description
“Complex . . . an atmosphere-filled adventure . . . with a fair quota of surprises . . . a winning combination of strong characters and colorful societies.”—Kirkus Reviews
In the final book in the Tawny Man Trilogy, Fitz and the Fool are tested more severely than ever in a book the Monroe News-Star calls “a breathtaking ride from beginning to end.”
FitzChivalry Farseer has become firmly ensconced in the queen’s court. Along with his mentor, Chade, and the simpleminded yet strongly skilled Thick, Fitz strives to aid Prince Dutiful on a quest that could secure peace with the Out Islands—and win Dutiful the hand of the Narcheska Elliania.
The Narcheska has set the prince an unfathomable task: to behead a dragon trapped in ice on the isle of Aslevjal. Yet not all the clans of the Out Islands support their effort. Are there darker forces at work behind Elliania’s demand? Knowing that the Fool has foretold he will die on the island of ice, Fitz plots to leave his dearest friend behind. But fate cannot so easily be defied.

5By MomOfGraceI’m so going to miss Fitz and his Fool. I wish there were another 3 books after this.A Magnificent conclusion to the story of Fitz
5By Trace JohnsonOften the end of a series doesn't satiate one's hopes for the outcome in an epic fantasy. Fool's Fate rises to a crescendo and thick layers of skill and emotion pour out. Robin's characters and settings come to life, weaving depths of despair and perfect happiness into a tale that is both familiar and incredibly unique. You won't be disappointed with the fate of the Six Duchies or FitzChivelry Farseer.Robin Hobb is Superb
5By N ~ LHere is an author that can fully transcend the fantasy genre and create deeply elegant writing that is all at once filled with intrigue, adventure, insight to the human condition, and magic that goes far beyond mere sorcery. This is a series I can easily recommend to anyone with a pulse.
