Title: AQ is a superb conclusion to the Farseer Trilogy
Product review: Robin Hobb was the first female fantasy writer I have read for some time. I always thought that women couldn't write fantasy well, but she has proved me wrong. The stunning ending, which is bleaker than many other fantasy novels, leaves you with a sense of melancholy at Fitz's situation. There is so much character development and plot that the book sometimes becomes too complex. Those that complain that the book is too long have forgotten the incredible journey that Fitz embarks on and the number of incredible escapes he makes from the clutches of his evil half-brother Regal.Unlike other reviewers here, I found the ending to be one of the most extraordinary in ANY book I have ever read. Yes, it isn't totally upbeat, but it is much richer for that. Robin Hobb is the future of realistic fantasy, and in my opinion one of the most talented writers in the genre at the moment. I can't wait for the next book!
