This is a really good novella that gives more information about the Piebalds. The first time I read it after Tawny Man and this time I read it before rereading that trilogy. I think it's better to read it before to understand the conflict in "Fool's Errand" better. I enjoyed it even more than the first time. The main character is complex and it's very believable that she is the one telling the story since the first part seems more personal than the second where she wasn't as present. I love how it starts and ends with a naming cerimony and how the way it's done is believed to impact the future of the baby. As good as the other books in the series. Yes! It might start off a bit slow, but YES! Some authors *cough[a:Michael J Sullivan|7923263|Michael J Sullivan|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-d9f6a4a5badfda0f69e70cc94d962125.png]cough* seem to think that "novella" means "visit my characters on their day off from doing things". Not here! This is a nice, meaty ~200 page story. Buy it! Thx Hobby ILY xoxo Oh you have some twenty minutes in which you have nothing to do? Well you haven't read this one yet? You once started and stopped. Well now must be the moment. Begin! You can always stop again. I didn't. Good thing it's short because twenty minutes became one hour and a half. Hobb always did that to me. Weird how you forget that stuff. It was vet enjoyable if a bit sad and murdery. I do wish they put in the song at the end. The true song. Also (this has nothing to do with the story) if I can find grammatical errors, people really messed up. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Still, even when putting her characters through one hell after another, Robin Hobb writes with a skill that can't be denied. The voice of the narrator simultaneously makes the reader disgusted with her character and utterly confident in the truth of her tale.
I can't say I liked this story of how the Witted came to be hated and hunted in the Six Duchies, but I can't help but admire the writer. I hadn't been able to read anything of hers since the Soldier Son trilogy, but this was a good reminder of what she can do.
I'm still not sure I can handle crippled dragons, though, well-written or not.
2017 update: Turns out I can handle crippled dragons just fine. I ended up loving her Rainwild quartet, which I went back and read after finishing the last Fitz and the Fool trilogy. ( )
