Golden Fool (The Tawny Man #2)

A true middle-of-a-trilogy book with little to offer itself. Could have been trimmed substantially without losing anything; leaving the pace slow.

better written than the first Fitz trilogy, but this book has little to no story. 100% filler.

It leaves me wanting his next book. Once you pick up the book you can\’t put it down.

A MINUTE OR HALF A YEAR, I CAN SCARCELY TELL WHICH This is not the Robin Hobb, I fell in love with. No wonderful magic and heart wrenching conflict as in Liveship Traders. No dragons with complicated personalities, as in Rainwild Chronicles. No, empathy for a coming of age boy with a weight problem, as in Solider Son. No empathy for a coming of age bastard boy as in Farseer. There is a reason these books are a fraction of the cost of her other great and unforgettable series. After struggling through Fool\’s Errand, I let this one go after 4 and a half hours. The first time I have ever given up on one of my favorite authors, Robin Hobb. Ths most exciting part of the first four and half hours was a dance, in which everybody who shows up is described in excruciating detail, clothes, heritage, and disposition. With a 4.6 rating it is loved by some, mostly those who are happy with hearing how Fritz walks down a street. Nothing wrong with that, just not for me.

Maybe it is series fatigue but Fitz just makes so many of the same mistakes and is a \”woe is me\” character. I\’ll read the third book, but it might be a year long break between.
