Tawny Man Trilogy - questions (SPOILERS)

[Mervi]

Oh there are some REALLY interesting parts in Fitz's narrative where he simply fastforwards and ignores difficult/unpleasant things that you only notice in the second reading. The first one that comes to my mind is after a night he spent with Molly when he realizes that Nighteyes was inside his mind all the time and how that affected... the experience for both of them. That scene alone demonstrates that Fitz is a master of self-deception. And basically the whole "not remembering his early childhood AT ALL" thing, even before being voluntarily forged... is his mind's incredibly strong defence mechanism at work, forgetting everything so having been rejected wouldn't matter/hurt so much.

This might sound a bit harsh, but I believe that most of the readers who complain that the books are too full of angst and Fitz whining about everything and bad things happening to him all the time just take everything he says too seriously. These books, and I think the Farseer trilogy especially, have loads of stuff written between the lines.
