Sorry, one last point. Propehcy was NOT the reason Fitz went on his quest. I too am tired of that plot schema, but it does not apply here. Prophecy drove The Fool, but not Fitz. Fitz, Verity, Regal, the Red Ships, nor anyone other than The Fool (and minor character Kettle) make any decisions with any prophecy in mind. Fitz starts the quest in the last book to kill Regal (no prophecy there) and finishes the quest because Verity called for him and duty drives him. How can you highlight the inclusion of prophecy as a flaw in a story by first calling out WOT and SOT as series you like? These are some of the most prophecy driven books ever written. Its like saying that your favorite book is the Bible but then go on to say that you are sick of relgious texts.
