A fantastic start to another Fitz trilogy. Even after 15 years of near solitude, he gets drawn back into the ways of old. Old characters and new converge, with joys and tragedies, to make for a remarkable tale. I couldn't put it down, and cannot wait to read the next installment.

Possibly the most absorbing in the series yet... this is definitely a miss-your-subway-stop, sneak-it-at-your-desk-at-work, stay-up-way-too-late kinda book!
It's been 15 years... FitzChivalry has taken on the identity of Tom Badgerlock, and has been finally living the simple life he always wanted, a near hermit in a rural cottage, alone except for his adopted son Hap, and occasional visits from the minstrel Starling. But events seem to conspire to end this quiet time... Fitz says no to Chade's request to return to Buckkeep to tutor his genetic son, Prince Dutiful, in the ways of the magic that he is born to. But when the Fool, now in the guise of the wealthy and alluring Lord Golden, reveals that Dutiful has gone missing, there seems no option but to accede to Queen Kettricken's wish that they go on a mission to find him before the Prince's impending bethrothal to an OutIsland princess... But are they merely seeking a rebellious runaway, or is a more sinister plot behind the Prince's absence? Sentiment against the Witted (those who have the ability to communicate with an animal partner) is on the rise, and many innocents have been brutally lynched. The secret political group calling themselves the Piebalds, who claim to be working for the rights of those who have the Wit, are not helping with their antics. Fitz' bond with his wolf partner, Nighteyes, is more of a liability than ever, now...

Great book! I keep reading because I love the main character Fitz and I keep wanting to know more about the Fool. That character stumps me all the way to the end of the series.

Fantastic follow-up to the Farseer books. The Tawny Man series continues the life of FitzChivalry Farseer after his self-imposed exile of 15 years. It was so nice to be able to read more about Fitz. Excellent series!

for 15 years FitzChivalry Farseer has lived in self-imposed exile, assumed to be dead by almost all who once cared about him. But that is about to change when the young heir to the Farseer throne disappears. Even Fitz does not suspect the web of treachery that awaits him or how his loyalties to his Queen, his partner, and those who share his magic will be tested to the breaking point.

If you liked "Assassins Apprentice" you will love the continuing adventures......

Fitz's further adventures . . . good series

Robin Hobb continues with her "Farseer" characters and they are just as wonderful, exciting, loveable and colorful as in her first trilogy. A must read for Robin Hobb fans.

The book was slow to get started but it was really worth reading. I look forward to reading his next in this series.

One of the best trilogies I've ever read. If you can do it I recommend reading Hobb's Farseer Trilogy then the Liveship Traders Trilogy and lastly the Tawny Man Trilogy as they follow in sequence. Rarely has a series captured me like this one and I've never been so content with an ending as with the last in this series.

This is a great book, it has been well read and not a new book. Would be good for somebody to read and pass along to another. It has some bent pages and cover not perfect.

Not as strong as the first series, but still a good read.

Good follow up series to "Farseer Trilogy."
