So, I just finished Assassin's Quest.
I got attached to Fitz in book 1, felt like book 2 showed him oppressed with many injustices and implied that he'd somehow find a way to be with Molly, and then the end of book 3 felt like a kick to my gut. Poor Fitz tries so hard but has failed at everything he has attempted in regards to accomplishing his personal goals. And everyone is mean to him.
Heck, the only non-villains in the book by the end are the Fool and Nighteyes. (Nighteyes is such an awesome character.. I love how he tells that Elderlings that 'we are pack' when they are awakened).
I felt like I just watched the movie Castaway where Tom Hanks strives so hard to escape the island, then when he gets back home he finds out that his girlfriend married someone else and has a bunch of kids now. And then the movie's over. lol.
I really enjoyed the setup in these books, but the ending really did not deliver at all. I am sincerely wondering if I should even read the next book or not? I know that bad things happen to good people all the time, but I need to see Fitz get some justice and accomplish his dreams at some point, not continually get kicked around like a dog.
What should I do? lol...
