Hobb, Robin - Fool's Fate

[oyceter]

I want to go back! Read it too fast, and now all I want to do is luxuriate in a reread of the trilogy.

And all I can think of right now is: the Fool went away! He wasn't supposed to go away, he was supposed to go off with Fitz and.. I don't know. Do something. But together. Waaaaah!

And Fitz brought him back and oh his poor back and the mind touches without barriers and then I'm supposed to be happy because he goes off and marries Molly, who I never cared that much about anyway, after the thing with the Fool and how is that supposed to match up anyway?

Guh.

And Burrich! Cried when they finally met and Burrich says that when Fitz is hurt all he can think of is a six year old boy and his promise to Chivalry.

Glad Elliania and Dutiful like each other, because I liked the Narcheska.

There may be more coherent thoughts on healing and on things going right and scars disappearing (even the fingerprints! Did those reeeaally have to go away?) and things coming back (mmm, scene with Girl on Dragon) later.

But... oh, the poor Fool in the hands of the Pale Woman and Fitz has to find him like that.

Ouch, I still hurt.

I read it. Finished it a few days ago. Did you cry? I cried. So many times. And I agree about Tigana hurt, only, Tigana even ended with hurt and even though Fitz and Fool separated, I'm reminded of how much mature of selfless Fool was. He would be the friend Nighteyes would have been.

I cried so much! So did thewildmole.

And at least there wasn't the same level of Tigana hurt, re: Dianora.

Of course, I also have giant visions in my head of Fitz and the Fool meeting up sometime very much later, or something ^_^. I think I cried pretty much every time Fitz had to reconcile with his past (Burrich told him to come home!) and lost it when he found the Fool in the caves.
