Story
FitzChivalry - royal bastard and former king’s assassin - has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire. Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz’s past...and his future.

But too much time has passed, and the newly hatched dragons are damaged and weak, and many die.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

Bring back Langton
I fell in love with the book series a few years ago and was so happy to find it on Audible. I wish James had continued with the final trilogy as his voice captivated my idea of who Fitz became as he grew older.

Enjoyable story but this one dragged
i like these books but admit that fast forward was my friend. Too many boring details made me wonder if the author was paid by the page. overall, I did enjoy the core part of the story.

Imaginative storytelling but…
The narrator cannot do females and perhaps should try stories with only male characters. Truly grating on the nerves. I got through 2 trilogies because I enjoyed the imaginative story. The only negative thing I have to say about the story is that the MC continuously made stupid selfish childish decisions. I thought maybe when he was older, in this trilogy, that he would have evolved Nope, which made this peeve even worse
Enjoyed the story very much which was enough to get me to the end of 6 books but I’m done with this world, at least for now.

a great finish to a great series
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!

Can’t get enough
This book had so many aspects of excitement. I was actually emotional in many aspects of the book (fools recovery to Molly). From the trip to the young love, finding dragons and going home Buckkeep, this book had it all!! Excited to start the Rain Chronicles Series!

Beautiful ending
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!

Wrap it up
Good story, dragged on a bit at the end, felt it could have been wrapped up cleaner. Would be nice to see fitz rise to a level of respect and admiration from those around him but they regard him as a tool and not much else. Kind of tragic. Overall well performed and well written. Definitely enjoyed it.
