Great post CG, I especially love No. 6 "Fitz is an epic badass" - so true!! Can't wait to see him go die hard in the next book! I'm still kind of overwhelmed that there is a whole new trilogy to devour, I was really satisfied with the end of Fool's Fate eventhough it was heart wrenching, I never thought she'd write more about F&F! I guess dreams do come true! I wonder if Fitz will ever get his happy ending though, or how it will all pan out..
It is a bit weird that there's no mention of dragons, but I suppose Fitz has basically opted out of world affairs, I'm sure we'll hear more in the next book; I still haven't read City of Dragons and Blood of Dragons actually, the series didn't grab me like the others..
I would have assumed that Fitz also picked up the Fool's DNA through , surely he would have been left with some residual Foolishness (get it?). I think the Fool is a man, and that he hides himself from Fitz because he a) loves Fitz and b) is incredibly private, so he couldn't risk being that vulnerable in front of someone he loved, when he knew Fitz wouldn't love him back as completely. That bit of mystery is all he has for himself, and as he says is gender really that important? He wants to be seen as a person and not put into a gender 'box' as such; or at least that's my interpretation!
Shun and...Lant(?) were such annoying characters, I found Shun a little bit unbelievable because she's soo shallow and selfish, is anyone that far removed from reality really?? I'll be interested to find out who their parents are and what the story is with Laurel, though it seems obvious to me that Shun is 100% Chade's bastard. Anyway only 7 months till book 2
