Fool's Fate
(Tawny Man #3)
by Robin Hobb
"A heralded writer of epic
fantasy, Robin Hobb has given readers worlds within worlds in her
heroic Farseer and Liveship Traders trilogies. Now she takes the final
step in the breathtaking trilogy of the Tawny Man, as the tale of
FitzChivalry Farseer comes to an epic end. Rife with boundless adventure
and unforgettable characters, Fool’s Fate is destined to become a classic of the genre.
Assassin, spy, and Skillmaster, FitzChivalry Farseer, now known only as man-at-arms Tom Badgerlock, has become firmly ensconced in the queen’s court at Buckkeep. Only a few are aware of his fabled, tangled past—and the sacrifices he made to survive it. And fewer know of his possession of the Skill magic. With Prince
Dutiful, his assassin-mentor Chade, and the simpleminded yet strongly Skilled Thick, FitzChivalry strives to aid the prince on a quest that could ultimately secure peace between the Six Duchies and the Outislands—and win Dutiful the hand of the Narcheska Elliania.
For the Narcheska has set the prince on an unfathomable task: to behead a dragon trapped in ice—the legendary Icefyre, on the island of Aslevjal. Yet not all the clans of the Outislands support the prince’s effort to behead their
legendary defender. Are there darker forces at work behind the Narcheska’s imperious demand? As the prince and his coterie set sail, FitzChivalry works behind the scenes, playing nursemaid to the ailing Thick, while striving to strengthen their Skill—ultimately bringing his unacknowledged daughter into the web of the Skill magic, where the truth must finally unfold.
The quest emerges amid riddles that must be unraveled, a clash of cultures, and the ultimate betrayal. For knowing that the Fool has foretold he will die on the island of ice, FitzChivalry has plotted with Chade to leave his dearest friend behind. But fate cannot so easily be defied."
Robin Hobb is a great writter for people who like George RR Martin's books. This is the secund trilogy that I read from this author and I just love it! Here in Portugal some "big" books are divided in 2 translated books so I just start reading the second part of this book. This is one of those books that I can't let go before I read it all! Even if I need to stay almost every night awake! I trully recomend this saga :)
