Gernia vs RotE *spoilers all Hobb books*

[Farseer]

I agree Narya.

It was certainly a lack that I personally had filled, and often even still find difficult to accept (that I could truly be so lucky!). I would go so far as to say that I tend to find that I am waiting for when it will all be taken away again.

I was one who "could have been anything"(and told exactly that by many over the years) but I needed and thus chose a home, hearth, husband and children to fill my lack...and never have I regretted my choice.

I see that in Fitz and Nevarre, and understand their journey.

Often it's the simple things, or themes, that have the most power for us...not to mention history. I can't help but think of Amber's words to Brashen that said something about life hinging on a man's love for a woman...I'll try and find that quote from SoD.
