That means all sixteenRealm Of The Elderlingsbooks (not just the ones about Fitz).

This series is now 22 years old, and the world has changed a lot in 22 years.

That was always Fitzs fate and the most appropriate not-entirely-ending for him.

As a final line, we dream of carving our dragon was rather better.

I experienced some similarly conflicted feelings about the developments in the Bingtown characters stories here.

The overall direction of the conclusion, though, was absolutely right.

It balanced itself between the poles of happy-ever-after and everything-is-miserable-and-pointless rather well.

The original conclusion toAssassins Questwas bittersweet, to say the least Fitz had Nighteyes, but basically nothing else.

He also has a wonderful sense of humour and a knack for pure snark.

InAssassins Fate, Bee considers killing Vindeliar but leaves him and he eventually dies in a melee.

Because he wants an extra dance with Molly.

Best developed character: Malta

When we first meet Malta, she is a thoroughly unlikeable character.

Her story is made up of some beautifully drawn character development.

It is the only book in which we really get to enjoy their friendship.

Only inFools Erranddo we really get to see them work together, without constant angst.

Its also lovely to have Fitz back at , which always feels like home for the series.

What then follows is an extremely detailed description of a major amputation without anaesthetic.

I could not and would not stop until it got better.

Somehow, eventually, it did.

I love all these books to some degree;Assassins Apprentice,Ship Of DestinyandFools Errandare particular favourites.

Assassins Fateas a whole is not a perfect book.

However, these are very minor quibbles.

Which is your most beloved book series?

Well revisit more on the site over the coming months.
