October 2003 | Publication | Received as a masterful conclusion to the trilogy and a high point of the entire Elderlings sequence, with critics praising the emotional depth of the resolution and the skill with which Hobb brought together threads from across multiple trilogies. Won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel in 2004. Reader response was intense and divided between those who found the conclusion perfectly earned and those who found it too painful to accept as satisfying - a division that continues to define discussion of the novel. Fool's Fate cemented Hobb's reputation as one of the finest writers of character-driven fantasy in the genre. |
