The ending doesn't make sense? Spoilers Farseer & Tawny Man

[FoolishGirl]

Regarding RH's post, I'm of course glad that she "stuck to her guns" regarding the endings. She does know her characters best.

But, one can understand readers' proprietary feelings about Ftiz and the Fool (I'm guilty, too). If RH didn't write them so vivid, real, alive, who would even care how it all turned out?

For me, Molly was not in the story enough to carry as much weight as she did with Fitz. Those two never shared any near-death experiences, nor even one soul-bearing conversation, that I can recall. Fitz's love for Molly is frustrating for me, because he seems to love an ideal, an image in his mind, a memory.

Some of the most powerful writing of RH's, to me, is her description of Fitz and the Fool skill bonding in the tower. THAT love and acceptance and fullness of feeling is not something you walk away from. You don't. You grab it and keep it close, and find a way to live IN THERE, with that someone.

While I believe RH knows best how Fitz feels, I have to feel that we didn't see his relationship with Molly revealed to its full potential, if he could accept a life that didn't include his Beloved.

Or maybe I was just blinded by all that Skilling hotness.
