About this listen

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer trilogy.

Keystone. Gate. Crossroads. Catalyst.

Fitz is about to discover the truth about the Fool's prophecy. Having been resurrected from his fatal tortures in Regal's dungeons, Fitz has once more foiled Regal's attempts to be rid of him.

Now, back in his own body, and after months of rehabilitation, Fitz begins the painful and slow process of learning the ways of a man again. Under the watchful eye of Burrich, old King Shrewd's Stablemaster, Fitz must learn to cast off the wild but carefree ways of the wolf and enter once more the human world: a world beset ever more viciously by the relentless Red Ship Raiders who are now left free to plunder any coastal town they please. But more immediately, a world in which he finds he is utterly alone.

Regal has stripped the kingdom of its riches and retired to the inland city of Tradeford. Of Verity, on his quest to find the legendary Elderings, there has been no word; Molly, Kettricken and the Fool have all vanished.

Unless Fitz can find Verity and help him in his quest, the Six Duchies will perish and there will be no safe place to live.

Critic reviews

'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers … what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.'
The Times

‘In today’s crowded fantasy market Robin Hobb’s books are like diamonds in a sea of zircons’
George R.R. Martin

I enjoyed most of the book. At times it was really slow and I almost felt like stopping, but most of the time it was enjoyable. The first two books were better in my opinion.

Hated the ending

I read her Farseer Trilogy previously. Also her other works. I loved it so much that now, I listen to the audio version. It's a work of art, which I'll read yet again. I can honestly say that I'd recommend this to anyone. Feel free to read her other works as well!

Robin Hobb is a Master storyteller and novelist.

The narator is great as always , many voices easy to follow dialogue.

Great ending to the trilogy and now i am left with a need to read more about Fitz... but next trilogy skips him.

Amazing ending to the trilogy.

When I started the first book of the trilogy I wasn't very happy with either the story nor narrating but still I knew I would like it.
I'm not sure when it happened but I absolutely fell in love with the series.
Now I fear starting the next trilogy. Apparently it's not a story directly about Fitz and the wolf and narrated by another. The reviews for that narrator are also terrible compared to Boehmer's excellent feedback. I looked for other books narrated by him in the end. I will try the next trilogy though. Hopefully I will like it.

Great listen

I loved every minute of it, right up until near the end. It then seemed like the author just wanted to be done with it, like some things just magically happen or things that the lead character has been struggling with always he just sort of suddenly succeeds with, the cavalry files in from overhead and saves the day etc. A little bit too easy it feels like, when comparing to the otherwise very long and detailed book about every minute of this guy's life.

Great long story, slightly weak ending

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It is a moving story of commitment and loyalty set in quasi medieval times.

What three words best describe Paul Boehmer’s voice?

offputting pronunciation

Any additional comments?

I read the trilogy and feel that I was given even more by hearing it too.

Wonderful trilogy
