The Tawny man series by Robin Hobb
Well, I’m done with the Tawny man series. Finished on Tuesday.
That book was really tugging at my emotions. Hell, the whole series did that. Now, as you may or may not know I haven’t read the LiveShips, so I might not have gotten all the clues, but anyway, here is what I think about what I have read.
I was so sad when the Fool died, and the description of how and where was really bad. Was fighting the tears pretty badly by that point. Even though I kind of doubted the wisdom of it I was über-happy when Fitz managed to bring him back to life.
I totally understand why they had to go their separate ways at the end, even though it’s really sad. Only thing is that I wish they’d had a proper good bye.
Going toward the end I thought everything was going downhill again. I mean, the Farseer saga didn’t have a really happy ending; he got peace, but not the way he wanted.
Now, he got re-connected with Molly, and I was really happy about that. The cost however, made me sad. I was so happy when Burrich reappeared, and that they would have a chance to talk, and then he up and dies! I do however believe that there wasn’t much that needed to be said, because they could leave it as it was and still understand what the other wanted.
I so loved the part where Patience discovered he was still alive. ”He wouldn’t dare!” Was laughing at that point. The situation was just so funny. I really wanted her to know he was alive at the end of Farseer, never really thought she’d be threat to that secret.
I understood why Nettle was angry when she found out the truth. I would be too if I were her, but was happy that it started turning for the better.
When my friend beluga was talking about the books, I never thought that there would exist a happy ending for Fitz. He finally got the life he wanted, with Molly and Nettle, better late than never.
Am glad the relationship between Elliana and Dutiful turned into love, even though I think it happened quite suddenly. I guess there really is a fine line between love and hate. And they had a baby, how cute.
It’s kind of weird to think back that I wanted to give up half way through the first one. I am really happy I didn’t and kept with it Will probably re-read it sometime later.
Now, lets get the discussions started.
