Fool's Fate

I finished Fool's Fate last night. What an amazing story. It was the last book in a trilogy which was itself the last set in a nine-book arc...so it was sort of sad, reading to the end. You know, end of the line and all that. But still, I couldn't put it down. I suppose there was a pretty good sense of completion. Everything just seemed to fit together well. I guess Ms. Hobb has a wonderful editor ;) It's definitely inspiring to my writing. And guitar playing, oddly enough... The story of FitzChivalry Farseer and his adventures have come to an end. Or so she says....There's a lot of darkness in these books, but there's always some levity somewhere, a bright spot to show you that yes, good will triumph, though not without suffering. I just wish I could write as well as she does. Maybe someday...I highly recommend this series to anyone the slightest bit interested in fantasy, magic, medieval-seeming settings...it's beautifully done. I picked up this 600+ pager on Saturday afternoon and I finished it last night before I slept. A good way to finish any book, in my opinion ;)

I get to see Hidalgo with Molly on Sunday. That makes me happy. More Viggo on a horse! :(
