Title: Fantastic trilogy, rushed and depressing ending.
Product review: After the Buckkeep centred tale of the first two books this is a pleasant change of setting for fitz's adventures. The ending of his quest for Verity was a very pleasant surprise (refreshing after so many "crest the final hill to find the glowing city/dragon/magic item" endings). The story not ending with a massive battle over the Red Ships was a nice change, as was the fact that Fitz was not the big hero at the end. The big let down for me was the way Fitz was left. Fair enough to lose Molly (and Kettle/Kestrel's speech on "not truly loving each other, only that time in their lives" rang painfully true for me), but for Fitz to be so isolated from all his surrogate mothers and fathers and was a major disapointment. I hope that this will lead to further tales of the Six Duchies, with Starlings comments about Fitz being an "old man in a young damaged body" giving me something to wish for. PS What did "Fitz Fixes Feists Fits" mean?
