“The MC is more grown up in this later trilogy and the tension between Fitz and the fool are among is still interesting. The first Tawny Man novel captured me more, however.”

“This book is just as great as Fools Errend and it's nice to see how Robin Hoob manage to mix character from The Liveship Traders into the Tawny Man trilogy.”

He first book in this trilogy was very good. I started out thinking it was going to be another "magic" driven fantasy novel. Where the magic is more important than well thought out plot and characters. Not so at all! Being as I was and still am waiting on the next installment of the Song of Ice and Fire series, I was happy to find a fantasy series with similarly toned narrative and of a comparable caliber to boot. The second book, this book, blew me away. If the first one was great book, this is a truly AMAZING book. Fitz is such a great and deep character. He is truly noble and holds himself to a high stander, yet very flawed and knows this of himself. The end result is someone who is a kind of every day man forced into the role of cut-throat white-knight. I say white knight purely to indicate his boyscout-esque qualities. I'm actually glad I came to the character as an adult with a past(him, not me. I have no past, or at least known that it is safe for you to know...lol..:P), rather than reading about him as a child that turns into the person I read about now. But you know what really does it for me in this book. The non-traditional relationships. My heart when Fitz confronts the fool about their relationship and how the fool mite want more from it. The fool is an amazing character, so multifaceted that he is less gold, and more diamond. I can't say too much about this part with out giving away much that will be better to discover on a readers own. The plots and intriques. They are great, every level of this story is well crafted to perfection. I'm having to hold myself back from reading the 3rd and final installment because I don't want it to be over any sooner than it has to be. ”
