Hello all. I just finished the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies, and I'm happy to find a community like this to discuss them with other readers.
While I agree with some of the posters here that Fitz's actions at the end of the Tawny Man trilogy seem out of character for him, I would suggest that we need to remember that Fitz is now whole again, now that the Fool has returned his memories of pain to him from Girl-on-a-Dragon. We never got to see how Fitz would have dealt with those memories over time, and so can't expect his actions now to coincide with his actions from the past, as only now is his healing finally complete. Second, also remember that time now flows in a new channel now that the Fool and Fitz have succeeded; history will no longer repeat itself. Fitz has a chance to change himself and his future, much as he changed everything else.
Just my two cents, thanks for listening!
