How do you end an epic series?
 
While I am sad that the Realm of the Elderlings has come to an end, I enjoyed every moment of this final instalment with Fitz, the Fool and their wilful daughter Bee.
 
With callbacks to all of the other trilogies (and one quadrology) which made up the Realm of the Elderlings series, this isn’t a standalone read. But, it’s a fantastic way to wrap up an immersive, amazing journey in these lands.
 
Nothing else I’ve read stacks up to what Robin Hobb has created across these books. And, I look forward to starting them all over again at some point and enjoying this whole story from the beginning.
