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

[Farseer]

The one thing I would like to have seen is Hap learning who his foster father really was. With his minstrel's thirst for a good story, that would have taken many evenings by the fire, before Hap went back to his own life on the road.

The problem with posting so many posts is that I have lost myself...I know I have mentioned something of this before but I know not what nor where so apologies for what's coming!

I agree, and it will be interesting to learn just how much he actually DID know by the end of Fool's Fate...he was, after all, present at Fitz and Molly's wedding. If he was not told why and what relationship Fitz had with them, he would have, at the very least, been rather curious as to the guests of the wedding eg the King, Queen and Prince! It would have been unusual to have royalty in attendance at a wedding of a mere guardsman (Tom Badgerlock rather than FitzChivalry Farseer).

What we also don't know is if his comments about getting a "kiss from his new sister" meant that Hap thought he and Nettle were considered brother and sister due to the wedding itself (in that his foster father, Fitz, married Nettle's mother, Molly) or that they were 'brother and sister' due to the fact that Fitz was Nettle's biological father and also his foster father.

Either way, if any minstrel ever gets the true inside scoop on Fitz, I am glad that it's Hap. Given my natterings about the relationships of minstrels to dragons, the Rooster Crown etc ... *LST spoiler*

eg that Tintaglia spoke of Selden as her little minstrel

... I am very happy that Hap chose to be a minstrel.
