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

[Nuytsia]

no matter how I feel about certain decisions, the only reason I personally criticize them so heavily is because of how much I enjoyed them..

I know what you mean! If her writing wasn't so good we wouldn't care less how the book ended!
I wish Robin had taken that message from the comments she must have received..... but I guess people can be unbelievably insensitive so goodness knows what her emails said.
I wish she would go ahead and write whatever it was she had in mind before she got any feedback. Like you, I also don't know what I imagine happening between fitz and the fool, but i feel sure there must be something more in mind than where it ended up at the end of FF.
It was weird to read that some people complained about the ending to the Assassin's trilogy - I thought that ending was just fine.
I think in an ideal world authors wouldn't listen to any public feedback until they are finished with that set of characters for good! I can't imagine how someone like George RR Martin can write in peace with so much speculation going on about every little detail of his books and what will happen next. I thought, he must just not read it, but he must know about it (attending Cons and stuff at least, and comments on his blog, just for starters)
