Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb
5.0
What an incredible ride! A truly amazing, bittersweet, and fitting end to Fitz and the Fool's journey. Robin Hobb saved her best work for the finale. It is truly rare for someone to land the plane this well at the end of such an epic saga, without invalidating any character work or choices that came before it.
Another thing that was awesome was how she wove all the previous series that occurred in different settings with different characters into this final trilogy. It even made slogging through the rain wild chronicles worth it, even those that series was.... not great.
I had initially read the Farseer trilogy awhile ago, and remember enjoying it, but I didn't move on to the rest of the books. I'm so glad I revisited them. For whatever reason, I definitely enjoyed them more this time around. I truly think the massive tapestry Hobb wove over the 5 series that comprise the whole epic is a stunning achievement.
