Summary
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.

A bit slow in the beginning, but came through
I very much liked the book in the end, but it began so slowly I almost gave up. Glad I didn't. So full of emotion and twists that I cried a few times.

Pretty good story. Narrator really quite annoying.
I recommend you buy the first book first and see how you like it. they're quite slow but get better, and ypur inner voice will be better than the narrator.

Catalystical
Fantastic finale in which Hobb once again sets her own pace in exploring this fantastic world in which she has built. Ending is naturally conclusive, but not necessarily happy ever after for all.

Couldn't stop Listening!
This book had me hooked from start to finish. Once again Hobb brings the tale of the Farseer family alive, Following Fits Journey which is full of twists and turns. Great ending to the Trilogy. I really enjoyed this book but the reason why I gave Performance 4 stars instead of 5 was because the narrater repeated himself on a Occasions, it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the book though and I wouldn't let it stop other Listeners downloading this book.

Great start with a weaker finish
When the trilogy began I was gripped and excited but as the story came to a close I found myself wondering why it felt prolonged. A shame in my opinion as elements of these books were incredible.

Brilliant
At the beginning it feels all over the place. The story felt like there was no thread or direction. Once Fitz is on his way to Verity then it picks up. Great ending but took a long while to get there.
Again I will note, this is an amazing series but ruined by the narration. The only voice I like is the wolf's. Definitely worth buying the physical books.
