This has been a very interesting post to read. If I had to pinpoint my grievances with the ending, it would be these:
First, Hap should have been developed a little more. 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?
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.
