I love Fitz (irritatingly daft as he is at times) and the Fool so much. I was crying last night as well!

Okay then, Google: tell us what to do | The future of entertainment websites

Yeah I never finished the story so I feel like this might be the time. I think the last reveal I remember was someone working for the big bad guy as a spy??

I just remembered the existence of blue cheese fish mousse and I needed to for a walk to the stairwell to recover my composure.

It's also been enough time that I've forgotten some of the smaller moments and then I remember things that are going to happen and I'm lost.
