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

[Farseer]

Despite being Dutch, I'm still waiting for the final Rain Wilds book to come out in English.

AR, does this mean that you have read the Dutch version of BoD but are still waiting for the English as well OR that you have refrained from reading the Dutch at all (if so, what willpower you have! ) so are in the dark along with the majority of the rest of us?

Anyway, I would agree with the thought that a third Fitz and the Fool trilogy would potentially finish the arc.

My obsession forces me to hope that this won't be the case (that the arc will then be complete)! I can live with clinging to the low modality of 'potentially' though.

So many things can still come from this arc, I think...in the form of backfill as well as moving the storyline forward. Of course, Fitz and Fool are but one (they have always been one ) element of the entire tale so there are many things also still left to expand upon within the realm as a whole. As we learn of current and future events, we must also unearth the historical and ancient, and then weave them altogether. I guess it's simply a matter of how deep our Tangle Leader wishes to dig and how much weaving she'd like to do.

You know what, I'm kinda hoping for a return to the world of The Soldier Son. I don't know if it would be commercially viable, but there are potential new stories there, I think.

I agree, AR. I agree.
