totally disagree. it was more about robin hobb's personal desire to marry it off than anything neccessary for the plot or the reader. and the fact that everyone married and had kids was really pretty ridiculous. there was no realism. there was no need for it. it was 100 pages of bla. we may have been with fitz from any early age, but his life and what he thought to tell us was never bla. it was neccessary. this wasn't. the way it was written, the series, was of a man telling us his life. but when you tell someone your life you don't go into details about the things that don't matter to anyone but yourself or are unneccessary. he didn't go into huge details about all of his life, just main bits of it until he was about 15 and everything started to happen. so there's really no reason for him to suddenly go into huge detail about things that were unimportant. he didn't tell us huge chunks about other people's lives, when he was a kid, so why is he suddenly doing it now he's an adult? because that's what robin hobb wanted, that's all. she wanted everuone married off and happy, as can be seen by the way she went on about althea which had nothing to do with anything. it was her preferenced to force this sacrin ending on us. it had nothing to do with the plot and it was fairly out of character for fitz because he was never someone who went on and on about family and love and stuff like that early on. even tho molly meant everything to him, he never whittled on about her to great lengths throughout the books, so the fact he is suddenly going on about her AND everyone else, even people that don't matter, is just out of character. it just doesn't work

*shrug* should have ended with the fool leaving and had a little epligoe, i ddi this, they did that, that sort of thing. there was no reason or excuse for the rest of it.

that's it. that's my thought. not arguing anymore about it. cos it's done and it's done its damaged, it ruined the last series for me. burrich's death onwards was jsut rubbish in my opinion
