This world, so intricate and multilayered with various nationalities and interests pitted against each other while seeking to resolve conflict through negotiation and diplomacy, is totally believable and true to real-world political situations. You forget the magic that is constantly hummimg in the background. There is no flash plotting, just patient development of situations from various angles. As a result, the characters are engaging and rock solid, while their reflections on their own past experiences and place in history become deep contemplations on the difficulties of maintaining faith in a world where suffering is a constant. The style is simple and direct, yet, as in the wave-like rhythmic patterning of the hallucinogenic Skill sequences, can take on the poetic intensity of true epic. Powerful stuff. Not your usual gimmicky fantasy. As GRRM had said, a diamond in a sea of zircons. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by F***N on April 4, 2025* Probably my favorite book so far from Hobb in the Realm of the Elderlings. The characters just grow that much deeper and they connect so well with the humanness that each of us well knows, both good and bad. Hobb is masterful in her story telling, and an expert in the human condition and relating the reality of the same back to each of us as if we are looking in a mirror as we enjoy this wonderful tale. Brilliant, just brilliant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Bridge of Character *by P***D on March 18, 2003* Middle books of planned trilogies are difficult, as they must necessarily not be complete in themselves, but can only build the setting for the last book. The middle book of the last of three related trilogies must be even more difficult. Haven gotten through the Assassin and Liveship Trader sets (and if you haven't, you need to before tackling this set - you won't regret it), and Fool's Errand as a the first book of this set, this becomes an obvious bridge work between all that has gone before and (presumably) the tie-up of all the various plot threads in the last volume.FitzChivalry Farseer is once more the star, opening this volume as a very much-wounded man, having lost his bond mate, and forced to once more try to fit in to the court intrigues by playing the servant to Lord Golden as Tom Badgerlock. New problems almost at once descend upon him, from his adopted son Hap's wayward ways to complications in his own love life, while the pressures of the Piebald group mount upon both Fitz and the kingdom, and Prince Dutiful's training in the Skill becomes an imperative, regardless of Fitz's own feelings of inadequacy in matters of the Skill. Add in problems with the Outisland delegation and Dutiful's promised bride, and the Bingtown traders requesting help in their war against Chalced, and there are more than enough plot threads for several novels. But the focus of this book is not so much in unraveling all these threads, but rather in Fitz's development as a person, along with all the people around him. Throughout this book, we see Fitz make errors in judgement, fail as a parent, as a spy, a lover, a teacher, as a friend. Each error leads to further growth of the man as he tries desperately to fix all his self-imposed problems while also working to aid the kingdom in what he sees as the best way possible. Lord Golden is exposed as having even more personas than previously known, each equally as enigmatic. Lord Chade comes into his own as a real human, with understandable desires and forgivable failings, and even Hap becomes a very recognizable young man with a very normal set of young man's problems.This is therefore a quiet book, without a great deal of surface action, but with a great deal of character development, and the setting in place of all the things and characters needed for a final denouement. As the characters make up so much of the charm of this entire set of interrelated stories, it is a fully satisfying book, even though it has no real ending, and with possibly even more questions raised than answered within its various disclosures of tie-ins between the various plot threads. The only real problem with this book, like almost every other middle book of a series, is the agonizing wait for the final volume.--- Reviewed by Patrick Shepherd (hyperpat) ## Frequently Bought Together - Golden Fool: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book 2 - Fool's Fate: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book III - Fool's Errand: The Tawny Man Trilogy Book 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/12025321-golden-fool-the-tawny-man-book-2-mass-market-paperback](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/12025321-golden-fool-the-tawny-man-book-2-mass-market-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
