What a perfect ending. There's really no better way to send Fitz off. I loved that Bee tricked Fool into joining him, although I wish there was a bit more detail. It seemed so sudden that Fool changed his mind, and then he was gone.
My only complaint is one I have for most of Hobb's endings. There is such meticulous detail to every scene in the opening chapters, but that falls away as we approach the ending and she begins to rush. I love the "tea drinking" chapters people complain about. I wish there was more tea time with the Liveship characters. They didn't feel like the same, fiery people I loved so much. Of course, it doesn't help that Fitz and Bee are so anti-social and avoided them all the time.
Or maybe I was reading too fast lol. It's hard to tell. Despite that, I loved the book and can't wait to re-read the series.
