Golden Fool by Robin Hobb (The Tawny Man, Book 2)

Synopsis:
FitzChivalry, the bastard, returns to Buckkeep to train Prince Dutiful in the Skill, even as tensions rise among the various factions of people who practice the despised Wit animal magic–including Prince Dutiful.

Review:
Golden Fool takes the story of Fitz and the Fool into a whole new direction, reminding me why I have always praised Hobb for her willingness to take risks. Not much more I can say without offering up too many spoilers for previous books, but if you’ve made it this far you’re probably committed to finishing the series without my recommendation.

Any fans out there?
