The ending doesn't make sense? Spoilers Farseer & Tawny Man

[Syrocko]

Nice points in your posts Syrocko, and I don't disagree with a lot of what you say. I couldn't really envisage something like Fitz and the Fool get together and live happily ever after!!! I just felt gutted by what did happen.

Thank you! I guess we're meant to feel at least a little sorry about the Fool leaving. All the Fitz books seem to avoid seeming cliched by including at least some element of loss in their ending. Personally I'm a sucker for happy endings and wouldn't have minded a complete fairytale scenario, but was still happy enough with the compromise we were given.

Well I'd seriously consider it if I went through some of the stuff they do together!!! Really.

Fair enough. I suppose I can't be completely sure I wouldn't either (and Fitz and the Fool do seem to have this whole past life, always-been-one-person dynamic hinted at, which was probably meant to further explored in a future book), but surely not if I was already in love with someone else.
