I love the theme theory of Fitz, Nighteyes, and the Fool symbolizing past, present, future! I think the theme of the past works so well for Fitz- his obsession for trying to write an accurate history of the Six Duchies? ❤️

After discovering this podcast earlier in the year and spending months listening to every episode, it feels wild to be caught up at last. It's been years since my last Hobb reread and I have other reading/rereading priorities currently, so I've really enjoyed revisiting the books this way. I agree with your take on Kennit...I have nothing to add but I agree.

I also remembered the face carving happening much earlier!

I wonder if small pieces of the skill stone could be worked for similar purposes as wizard wood? Like the navel piece to prevent pregnancy- is the one Fitz comes in contact with made of wizard wood? Can someone more on the spectrum of a hedgewitch use wizard wood? Skill stone?

I never thought too much about it, but I did assume dragons were different sexes in different lives. It makes sense to me for some reason, maybe since I'm personally nonbinary.

I have an hour commute to work and an hour commute back perfect for listening to the podcasts! Still trying to catch up to current episodes. Occasionally get ahead listening to episodes in the background on my days off.

I borrowed the Liveship books from a friend in middle school - not sure either of us knew the Fitz books existed at the time, but we loved the trilogy and that's what got us to seek out more of Hobb's books. Maybe it's because I was young, but for me all the "reveals" in both the Liveship and the Fitz books hit pretty hard regardless. I remember being super confused about stuff that became clear when I got to Fitz's story, but it was fun figuring it all out so I don't feel like I lost anything by reading it out of order.

Lol I also imagine Kennit looking like Hook, though not exactly sounding like him

the name "Grag" tho....

I appreciate the sensitive venture into Kennit's character here.

Congrats on 100! (I got here late, you currently have 220 episodes out. I am just trying to catch up.)

What is this? I assumed it was a reading of the book? So far Just opinionated hot air.

Bee is a Farseer and she does see far!

These are not the books? These are just to random people talking about the books? Who would enjoy this?

man i remember reading this book 12 years ago and man was i enthralled. I also read it as bjorik lol cant wait to listen to this. There was so much i questioned but man to this day i can't bring my self to finish the 9th book. Im about 3 chapters left and just can't.

great discussion on this difficult and fascinating chapter. Fitz's "heart's desire" here reeeeeeally illustrates all the brain & psychic damage he has sustained at this point.....

"He doesn't have the guts [to kill his grandfather]!" haha

Excellent reading.

Regarding the ceremony it strikes me as something more meant to foreshadow fitz’s role as the catalyst rather then anything to do with world-building considering this ceremony is never bought again in of the books after this.

Yes, as much as I love Burrich, nothing displeases me more about this series than his marriage to Molly. It was just too cruel

I thought Molly's edge of fear was more about how he described exactly what happened in Siltbay when there was no earthly reason for him to know something like that.

I'm deeply shocked Burrich wasn't even a possibility for favorite character! :) He was my favorite since the minute he appeared - he was obviously very complicated, so really interesting.

I actually did start at Liveship, not realizing there were other books. And it definitely was confusing that way, lol

im not really into this type of stuff on yt but this popped in my recommended somehow, but you seem dedicated to this i mean 189 podcast episodes with less than 10 views on most of them. Hopefully you find a viewership with this :)

the Fool is always disappointed with Fitz, lol

I don't believe for a second that Chade had no hand in the queen's situation.

Really interesting thoughts on Queen Desire!

never thought Fitz was upset with his mom - seemed like the memories were just too painful

I read it as Bur-rich also.

I was reading the last trilogy a few days ago and as I was listening to this i remembered the part where Tintaglia almost kills Fitz in Kelsingra. Couldn't help but agree with Bendir and the mother to chop that bitch up. Make some sturdy planks, build a ship, a barge or something.

Really support your guys work, keep it up 👊

A engaging listen! One fact check- Fitz did know while writing this account (post the Farseer trilogy) that elfbark deadens Skill. Nettle had told him during her trainings in Book 3.

I would guess that Mere might be Chuyrda for mom rather than his mom's actual name.

The part where fitzs take the knife and stabs it into the mantelpiece is simply him being justifiably angry at shrewd and to chade to a certain extent. Because if fitzs was just obeying a skill suggestion why would he stab the mantlepiece instead of just giving the knife to chade.

Hi Luke, hi Emma, I just wanted to thank you for your great podcast! I read the realm of the elderlings in it’s entirety once, Farseer and Tawny Man twice and recently started my reread for the entire series. Because I can’t get enough Hobb content, I started your podcast and I really enjoy it! Whenever I finish a book now, I listen through your discussion of that book. I am now listening to your discussion of royal assassin. It’s a great way for me to delve deeper into the books and spend more time in the world. I know that I have quite a lot of episodes to catch up on, so I just wanted to take this opportunity here on this most resent episode of yours to thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy your journey with the reread and the podcast :) have a great week :)

You're doing the fantastic job! I love your videos
