About the book

Keystone. Gate. Crossroads. Catalyst.

Fitz is about to discover the truth about the Fool's prophecy. Having been resurrected from his fatal tortures in Regal's dungeons, Fitz has once more foiled Regal's attempts to be rid of him.

Now, back in his own body, and after months of rehabilitation, Fitz begins the painful and slow process of learning the ways of a man again. Under the watchful eye of Burrich, old King Shrewd's Stablemaster, Fitz must learn to cast off the wild but carefree ways of the wolf and enter once more the human world: a world beset ever more viciously by the relentless Red Ship Raiders who are now left free to plunder any coastal town they please. But more immediately, a world in which he finds he is utterly alone.

Regal has stripped the kingdom of its riches and retired to the inland city of Tradeford. Of Verity, on his quest to find the legendary Elderings, there has been no word; Molly, Kettricken and the Fool have all vanished.

Unless Fitz can find Verity and help him in his quest, the Six Duchies will perish and there will be no safe place to live...

    The Farseer Trilogy 3/3 👦🐺🐲

    Das Ende der Farseer Trilogy lässt mich mit einer Leere zurück die ich so selten oder noch nie nach dem Ende eines Buches gespürt habe. Das erste Drittel des Buches hat sich für mich zwar etwas gezogen danach aber wieder alles wettgemacht. Robin Hobb schreibt unfassbare Dialoge und Charaktere die mir einige Male ein dümmliches Grinsen und Tränen ins Gesicht geworfen sowie dieses kaum beschreibbare Gefühl von Trauer, Wut und Hoffnungslosigkeit in die Magengrube gelegt haben. Ich vermisste alle Charaktere schon bevor die letzten Seiten zu Ende gelesen waren und kann es kaum erwarten wieder in dieses Universum einzutauchen. Mit dieser Trilogie hat sich Hobb defintiv zu einer meiner Lieblingsautorinnen katapultiert und ich freue mich nun bald die Liveship Traders Reihe einzusteigen und endlich wieder in das Realm of Elderlings zurückzukehren.

    This book might take a long time to go where it should bei heading, but so does Fitz and it mirrors his state of mind perfectly. It's incredibly slow, even more than the previous books, but I enjoyed almost every second of it. Once the story gets actually going, every sentence of it is perfection.I love the ending and everything that leads to it so much. I discovered again how much Hobb has made me care for the characters and I got emotional over so many little moments. Can't wait to read more by Robin Hobb.

On an emotional basis, it is hard to read through this. Fitz didn't want to be saved, he didn't want to live anymore - and I mean, who wouldn't understand him after being beaten to death... For Chade and Burrich to decide that the Bastard must live to continue his work for a dead King... I feel really bad for him, and also start to seriously dislike those adults.
