Favourite RotE Book:  Fool’s Errand
Why:  Beginnings are always my favorite parts, and the Tawny Trilogy are probably my favorite RotE books. We meet a bunch of new people, revisit Buckkeep after a decade or so, are reunited with everyone, but also reunite with Fitz after the climax of Assassin’s Quest. It’s nice to follow a character dealing with the aftermath of a very epic quest, and I love in introspection, that Fitz has grown since we last saw him, that he’s dealing with physical and mental aftermath of the experience.  There’s personal things going on that I can find mirrored /dealt with in Fool’s Errand that are comforting, too.
Top Three Favourite Characters: Fitz + Beloved + Nighteyes are givens. Them aside, Dutiful, Elliania, Patience
Top Three Least Favourite Characters: Tellator-Rapskal, Black Rolf, Kyle
Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): Ophelia (that was her name right??)
Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind): Elliania/Dutiful, Patience/Lacey, Burrich/Chivalry
Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted!
If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: My dumb cat
Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: Rain Wilds…dragon exposure exempt.
How were you introduced to the books? I was actually looking at some LGBT+ Fantasy booklist on Goodreads and Assassin’s Apprentice kept popping up, so I did it and couldn’t stop reading for about a year.
