Which RotE character is your favourite? (spoilers all RotE books)

[Farseer]

There's a thread for the next Rain Wilds book where some have already talked about what they think may happen, as well as there being general info re the release date etc.

Once the book finally comes out, that "The Next Book" set in the Rain Wilds thread will move out of the Upcoming Books section and into the RotE section. It will also have a name change (to the actual title of the new book) to reflect it as being a current thread, I'd say, and so people may tend to go there for discussions on all things related to that book? Have a look though and if you don't think it fits your purposes, go ahead and begin a specific prediction thread, LL.

Of course, there are other threads that discuss specific things post-RWC eg 'The Demise of the Elderlings' and 'Potential future conflicts and problems in the rain wild chronicles' but these contain some Farseer and TM spoilers so, yes, "The Next Book" thread would serve best spoiler-wise, or a new prediction-specific thread.

As for your question re the Fool, he/she was originally only a very, very small 'bit part' when Hobb first began writing him/her into the plot but he/she grew in ways even she was surprised at...
