About this listen

FitzChivalry Farseer has become firmly ensconced in the queen’s court. Along with his mentor, Chade, and the simpleminded yet strongly Skilled Thick, Fitz strives to aid Prince Dutiful on a quest that could secure peace with the Outislands - and win Dutiful the hand of the Narcheska Elliania.

The Narcheska has set the prince an unfathomable task: to behead a dragon trapped in ice on the isle of Aslevjal. Yet not all the clans of the Outislands support their effort. Are there darker forces at work behind Elliana’s demand? Knowing that the Fool has foretold he will die on the island of ice, Fitz plots to leave his dearest friend behind. But fate cannot so easily be defied.

I loved this series. So many colourful characters and twists and turns. this is book 3 as the tale comes to an end. Robin Hobb is the master of Fantasy writing. James Langton tells the story with true understanding and emotion.

This trilogy is a masterpiece. Although not my favorite book of the three it is very well crafted and still a roller coaster of emotion. The ending is quite long and satisfying

Brought me to tears

If you've read the assassins trilogy, you probably had dozens of questions about the characters like I did. This trilogy satisfied all my queries.
Lovely narration and not that different from the previous narrator. You quickly get used to him!
I was sad when it ended... I could have a few more stories of Fits and the Fool.

Satisfying trilogy

I listened to the entire magnificent trilogy and felt so wonderfully caught up. Sometimes we need different worlds to escape to. This was so worth it in so many ways. I am looking forward to listening to more of Robin Hobb's work.

Truly Awesome!!

thic has to be the most annoying character, if I didn't mime the story so much I'd have given up the last book. he's awful.

good story otherwise

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of the Tawny Man Trilogy. It is a great adventure. Most of all, l enjoyed The Fool's deep bond of friendship with Tom Budgerlock. We get to learn just how much they mean to each other, even beyond death...if there’s such a thing. But my favorite is the narrator's voice. If not for any other reason, l would indulge in the series over again, just to hear it!

Beautiful ending

great read

I downloaded the first book on a whim not knowing what I was getting myself into and after the first book I was hooked. The tawny man trilogy is an absolute gem! The Fools fate is one of the best audio books I've ever listened to hands down. The naration and story are some of the best iv ever encountered on audible. I was trying to sum this book series up for my wife and what I came up with was a story about ba$terd king in the most epic bromance of all time. (lol!) love it ! in all seriousness you need to have a listen!

a great finish to a great series
