I liked The Farseer Trilogy... atleast I think I did since I read them all until I finished. I don't know if I say I hate it after finishing it now, or it just bothers the hell out of me. The three books seemed to be nothing but sorrow and tragedy for Fitz. And I thought "Oh, well that's usually how it is in books, atleast in the end he'll have Molly and his daughter." Yes, that's what I get for thinking that in the third book without knowing the author. So instead of finally getting the thing he wants most, a life with his wife and daughter, he gets screwed over with that aswell. So I feel as if there was nothing good to the books now. Sure The Six Duchies are saved in the end, but who cares about that, that should be only part of the ending. The ending should have been good for Fitz and finally got what he desired. That's like the only thing that was holding the poor man together in the end. Then Kettle(Kestrel) says that he never really loved her and that he should let her go. I was like where the hell did that come from, seemed a nice normal love between Fitz and Molly to me. Maybe I just don't see deep enough in the story. I figured that Molly was going to be the one thing he would have in the end since he had it near the beginning.
Robin Hobb should have just left it alone when they hadn't seen eachother for those two years when growing up and left it alone, though I knew it wouldn't be because I was hoping for it to be all well in the end. It's like Hobb had to torture Fitz until all he had left was Nighteyes. Which is all well and good, by why the hell couldn't he have been with Molly in the end?
I now have to sit here and vent my frustration instead of sleeping like I should be. I do have a question for those who've read the following trilogys. Do they involve Fitz at all and does he continue to have nothing but more tragedy and sorrow? Or is it only about whoever the new characters are. If it doesn't involve him at all or not much at all I think I will take a break from Robin Hobb books for awhile. But if good things happen to him and gets better then I probably would be forced to read them to know what happends next. But it sounded like it centered around the new characters and didn't involve old ones really, but don't know. Any insight would be helpful.
Edit:
I read the description for the third trilogy and saw that it involves Fitz and the main characters again. Though it says something about him being Tom Badgerlock or something, not sure what that means. Is the second trilogy important and involve the Farseer main characters to? Or can it be skipped and go on to the third?
