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

[Chrischa]

I'd never read that interview either, I'm very disappointed in people that they would feel it necessary to write RH with such hate mail. Ultimately writers create their stories for nobody but themselves, and that we happen to like reading them doesn't give us the right to interfere in their creative process nor their vision of what the story should be.
It's very sad that such people took the wind out of her sails. Especially because I think that RH is a writer whom you can trust to know what she's doing... if you know what I mean; there are so many writers out there who seem to fumble along, not knowing where they are going and leaving huge holes (yes, yes, the drive-cattle-through kind ) in their plots for convenience's sake. I feel Robin Hobb is a true master of her trade who knows exactly where she's going with things, and that everything that is in her story is relevant and well thought through.
