Fitz Fool 1 ??? (Spoilers all Hobb books incl CoD)

[Valarya]

Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Seriously I'm so excited I can't hold it in, even in my cubicle at work.



I understand how Robin feels, but this is FANTASTIC news! Seriously. It just made my year. An already wonderful year, I might add. I don't care how long it takes to come out, just -knowing- it exists and will come out someday fulfills me.

Also.. tying in another conversation we were having about when things should just end, this is one of those instances where I don't feel it's being done for money. At all. I trust Robin more than any other writer, director or producer out there. Her publishers have been asking for another Fitz/Fool book for YEARS, she said.. yet she didn't start it until it felt right. Thank you, Robin. Thank you for making it yours, and not just for making it of the publishing company or the annoying fans.



Now. On to speculation!!!! Hahah

Series-wide (especially RWC) spoilers within:........

Spoiler

Since the main-plot of the entire series has been about bringing Dragons back in to the world, I assume KEEPING them in the world will be their final duty.

Now that Kelsingra is awake and Elderlings exist again.. money-grubbers from the Rain Wilds, Bingtown & Jamallia will be coming in droves to plunder the magics. It's how they've always made their living.. by plundering Elderling cities and selling it to the rich-folk of the Jamallian empire. But it's imperative to the continuation of Fools "new time" that this not be allowed to happen! Knowing this as a reader, I assume Fitz and Fool will come to know Rapskal, Thymara, Alise & crew in order to preserve what they've wrought from the onslaught of human greed.

Really, I can't see it going anywhere else.

I see a war. A large war that will involve, in main part: Chalced. That emperor wants dragon parts and will do whatever he can to get them. In my minds eye I can see Kelsingra being just the start. We know that the emperor of Chalced sits on one of the biggest Skill Pillar areas known to the world. It'd be neat to see, after said war, all those ancient cities reawoken by the dragons. A global reawakening!
