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

[Farseer]

Well met, erikh!

He was pretty much Fitz's son, yet he went was swiftly relegated to the "not important" category when Molly reentered the narrative. I know he was supposed to be finding himself as a minstrel and all that, but he lived with Fitz for years, and that's all the farewell we get?

Ah, but maybe his taking on the role of minstrel (not a 'nothing' or 'not important' role by any means given a minstrel's status in society or in the eyes of a dragon) will bear significance later in the tale? At least, I hope so! Hapless, like so many others who began their journey as 'lesser' folk, may prove to be of considerable value in the unfolding of the plot...

Either way, he was certainly present at the wedding so still an important part in the life of Fitz? I do know what you mean though.

Second, I think that the Fool's disappearance is unsatisfying, especially with the fact that Fitz barely missed him in Buckkeep Town. This leads me to believe, or more likely to hope, that there will be another book or even short story with them.

I believe it is inevitable, as I keep harping on about throughout the forums. I simply just cannot see the entire ROTE storyline drawing to a close without Fool and Fitz...the White Prophet and Catalyst simply HAVE to be there somewhere in some form. There is still much for them to do and much to be resolved.

It's fantastic to have you here with us, erikh - welcome!
