Ugh I must admit this theme (or 'message')was one thing that I didn't much care for in a lot of Hobb books.
The themes of no parents or emotionally absent parents, a beloved mentor who is around for too short of a time, and a longing for the perfect happily-ever-after home life to replace the one we never got as a kid are widespread themes that most of us encounter in real life and in good story telling. As I have lived it myself (problematic parents, an unconditionally loving grandfather who died too soon, and a home life now that I certainly could not have made up in my wildest fiction), I draw a certain comfort in seeing Nevarre and Fitz finally getting their storybook family.
