    Jan 23 2026

    Warning: You may cry (we definitely did) Fitz and Dutiful, knowing this is the end, try to delay the inevitable to allow Lord Golden and Nighteyes to escape. Dutiful allows the Cat/Peladine to approach him and the Cat launches herself at Fitz, asking for death. With sacrifice comes a fight where they're saved by Old Blood elders and Laurel's return. The day saved, everyone ignores FitzChivalry and his bond partner Nighteyes as they rest together for a final time. The hunt awaits. Through our tears, we're reading Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb, book 1 of the Tawny Man Trilogy in The Realm of the Elderlings.

I’ve always loved the Realm of the Elderlings, and not a lot of people I’ve met have strong feelings on it enough to discuss each chapter for an hour or so. Being able to get a new perspective on this world from people who have read the full series is so refreshing. I’ve listened to 11 episodes over the last day and a half and plan to catch up in time for Tawny Man!

Finally!

just popped in on this podcast so I could feel like I was discussing my favorite series with other fans, but 2 sentences in and I just had a major story arc revealed to me...ugh, why didn't I heed the spoiler warning?! I had thought maybe the spoilers were for which book they were discussing at the time....

spoilers for all 16 books.
