Aw, Relpda. I completely forgot about Relpda. Bad londonlassie! Bad! Her relationship with Sedric was so endearing and she was so much the opposite of the arrogant, self-centred dragon which seems to be Hobb's norm.

I can't quite decide whether that would be intensely amusing, intensely annoying, or a little bit of both

I must say, even though Her Hobbness always has such a richly-developed world, with realistic, believable and interesting cultures, the world always comes on the back burner for me. Her characters are what keeps me reading, and the Elderlings were never hugely interesting for me. I was more interested in the political workings of Jamaillia and Bingtown and - in this series - the whole Rain Wilds culture and the taboo surrounding people like Thymara.

Rather the Fool, he belongs to both world and I can imagine him walking through Kelsingra. But as I try not to become too dependend on both characters, I wasn't disappointed. For me it was appropriate.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you may be straying here into the realms of City Of Dragons, which I have yet to read, because I have yet to find it *sniff sniff*
But I can't imagine Fitz coming into these stories at all.
