FitzChivalry Farseer has become firmly ensconced in the queen’s court. Along with his mentor, Chade, and the simpleminded yet strongly Skilled Thick, Fitz strives to aid Prince Dutiful on a quest that could secure peace with the Outislands - and win Dutiful the hand of the Narcheska Elliania.

The Narcheska has set the prince an unfathomable task: to behead a dragon trapped in ice on the isle of Aslevjal. Yet not all the clans of the Outislands support their effort. Are there darker forces at work behind Elliana’s demand? Knowing that the Fool has foretold he will die on the island of ice, Fitz plots to leave his dearest friend behind. But fate cannot so easily be defied.

Listening to the series in order has made all the difference in the world. Small details recall the previous series and it seems that it makes the series feel complete. The epilogue also makes the Fitz and the Fool series make more sense. Last time I didn't have this series and basically read & listened piecemeal as I got them. I remember the confusion I felt at the circumstances of them being away from buck keep... it made that series a hard read and very slow to get into. I speculate that reading in order will make all the difference.

Fantastic conclusion to the series
