Re: Farseers - Fitz and the Fool

Late to the party, but I was away over the weekend and only just got to read F!S. It's good to see that this series still has fans!

The dragons as massive predators thing is addressed in the first book of the new series if I recall correctly, although thus far there hasn't been a resolution to the issue.

Also, I agree that Fitz getting stuck in the pillar was a total copout. As you said, what other way could the author separate him and the Fool realistically? It would have taken another couple of hundred pages at least to make that happen believably.

I am now about halfway through the new book, and wow is this not the direction I had initially expected it to go. Though I did see some of those twists coming.
In a way, and I mean this in the fondest way possible because I do love the series - maybe it's that Robin Hobb as an author is less good than the story she wanted to tell. I feel like with Fitz and the Fool she found this magic combo that works, but none of her other books did it for me. And sometimes the plot has to be contrived a little to make what she wants happen (which always disappoints me, when you feel the author's hand pushing).

I mean SPOILERS FOR ASSASSIN'S FOOL
Given what Fitz went through with the Fool, I don't know how he didn't think of Whites WAY earlier on. I mean pale wispy people who don't show up to his Wit? HMMMMM. And when Bee was born, especially with the dreams, how did he not think of the Fool for a moment at least, or say "hmm well it's probz not that b/c I can sense her" or something? It's really weird shortsightedness.
