My husband finally finished FF last night and so I asked his "manly" opinion of how everything had progressed. I have waited YEARS to hear his opinion! Interestingly, he was quite satisfied with the situation between Fitz and Molly and didn't feel it to be a mushy love-story-kind-of-cop-out. I didn't ever think so either but a part of me had expected that he would, based on things others have said.
If anything, he believed he'd have felt the same way - that theirs was a short and passionate relationship early on and they would have both spent their lives apart from each other, always wondering at the lost potential...no matter who else turned up. Moreover, he was relieved to discover that Fitz had even survived, after thinking that he was going to die from the stings from Molly's bees. He'd thought,"Oh, you poor bugger, Fitz. To have survived all you've had to, and to finally win back Molly, you're going to die from an allergy to bee stings. It's a good thing you'd been away from Molly and her bees all those years or else look at the things you'd never have accomplished!".
FitzChivalry Farseer - death by bees - such a thing had never occurred to me!
OT but this morning, at breakfast, my better half then lamented that he'd have nothing now to fill his reading void, so I plonked 'Homecoming' in front of him (thought that a good way to bridge the gap between LST and RWC and to also introduce him to the style of Detozi and Erek's writing!) and then, a short way into it, lamented the fact that he had to go to work. Robin both enhances and interrupts lives...yes, yes she does.
