Title: The rise of Dutiful
Review: Golden Fool is clearly a building exercise to book three, Fool's Fate. While the transition from book one to book two was clean, books two and three are really halves of the same book. You can't take a break between them because so much is left in the moment at the end of Golden Fool.There are a few major plot lines that run through Golden Fool, however Hobb interweaves them with long wavelengths, such that one plot line is left hanging for very many chapters while another is addressed, and you being to stop caring about the other plot line, and even wondering if Hobb plans to pick it back up at all.I was also disappointed at the lack of another Fitz witbond. His Wit usage was always one of the most interesting aspects of the books, and the current disuse leaves a void in the story.
