About this listen
The triumphant conclusion to the Tawny Man trilogy, from the author of the bestselling Farseer and Liveship Traders trilogies.
The moving end to the tale of the Farseers, in which kingdoms must stand or fall on the beat of a dragon's wings, or a Fool's heart.
A small and sadly untried coterie – the old assassin Chade, the serving-boy Thick, Prince Dutiful, and his reluctant Skillmaster, Fitz – sail towards the distant island of Aslevjal. There they must fulfil the Narcheska’s challenge to her betrothed: to lay the head of the dragon Icefyre, whom legends tell is buried there deep beneath the ice, upon her hearth. Only with the completion of this quest can the marriage proceed, and the resulting alliance signal an end to war between the two kingdoms.
It is not a happy ship: tensions between the folk of the Six Duchies and their traditional enemies, the Outislanders, lie just beneath the surface. Thick is constantly ill, and his random but powerful Skilling has taken on a dark and menacing tone, while Chade’s fascination with the Skill is growing to the point of obsession.
Having ensured that his beloved friend the Fool is safely left behind in Buckkeep, Fitz is guilt-stricken; but he is determined to keep his fate at bay, since prophecy foretells the Fool’s death if he ever sets foot on the isle of the black dragon. But as their ship draws in towards Aslevjal a lone figure awaits them…

Absolutely love these books
I have read the books multiple times and listened to the audio books multiple times now also.. They really should have done some editing, there are multiple parts that are repeated due to no editing.. The narrator's in this series and the last series are ok, there are many more narrator's out there that are far better.. Apart from that, I still absolutely love these books!!

A triumph of story-making - the final book in the Tawny Man trilogy
Complex and wonderfully well-hewn characters, vast landscapes, roiling politics and complex plots alongside small moments for a small human to take stock, appreciate beauty and generosity of spirit.
Hobb writes spectacularly well, completely enthralling, they capture not only your imagination, but also your heart.

Lovely, but disappointing narration edits.
Great and rewarding book, and series, but utterly woeful editing! So bad at times that it brings one right out of the story.

excellent conclusion to amazing series
satisfying conclusion to the trilogy though the climax is oddly smake bang in the middle of the book rather then the very ending. near the end will make you laugh and teary.

Such a fantastic story!
The story was so good. I loved following Fitz in this next chapter of his life.
Unfortunately the editing is not that great with sentences frequently being repeated throughout the book.
Overall still great to listen to.

Geat Conclusion . Lousy production
Editing was not good with many repeated sections and obvious retakes that distracted from the flow.

Again great story, but the editing was terrible
Any additional comments?
Over the trilogy the narration improved drastically. Books 1 & 2 were difficult to get through as I was set on how things should be from the Farseer trilogy. Coming into book 3 I was expecting the same as book 1 & 2 but 3 was far better. The editing however was still poor. Repeated sentences was quite common but overall I was happy with the book.
