Assassins's Fate discussion (spoilers all rote books)

[Manicgirl]

I will have to reread it as well, still reeling from all the feelings. I loved how it tied together all the books from the RotE series, but I sometimes felt there were too many characters, taking focus away from Fitz and his journey.

I was surprised so few of the characters died, I had expected there to be much more casualties. I really grew to dislike Chade in the Fitz & the Fool triology (and I hate his children), so I was not sad to see him go.

I would have expected Fitz to be able to fill a stonedragon much easier than Verity, what with all he has been through, and with the help of nighteyes. But he seemed to need help with his much, much smaller stone wolf. Maybe Verity's ability with the skill made it easier for him to fill his dragon?

I loved the book. It felt like a real closure after all these years. It was sad, it was fitting, it was inevitable.
