She snorted a hot blast of breath that nearly knocked him down. The dragon’s eyes spun silver flecked with scarlet, so great was her anger. They are undoubtedly well written but also often highly annoying (this may be intended, if it was, then it was done superbly well). There is something about the characters that stopped me from getting completely behind them. I did enjoy the trilogy but not to the same degree as The Farseer Trilogy. The Farseer Trilogy established this status – does the Liveship Traders keep the high standard? The answer is yes, the quality of the writing is once again excellent and the characters are full and lifelike. Robin Hobb is rightly classed as one of the finest authors the genre has ever been fortunate enough to have. And all the while the waters around the Vivacia are seething with giant serpents, following the liveship as it sails to its destiny. Below her, Reyn and Seldon have been left to drown while Malta and the Satrap attempt to navigate the acid flow of the river in a decomposing boat.Īlthea and Brashen are finally at sea together, sailing the liveship Paragon into pirate waters to rescue the Vestrit family Liveship, Vivacia, stolen by the pirate king, Kennit but there is mutiny brewing in their ragtag crew and in the mind of the mad ship itself. The dragon Tintaglia, released from her wizardwood coffin, flies high over the Rain Wild River.
The story is written in third-person narrative and consists of 903 pages. First published in Great Britain by Voyager in 2000. Ship of Destiny is the final book of Robin Hobb’s epic fantasy trilogy The Liveship Traders.
