Ship of Destiny (Book 3) The Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb
Review by Natalie
What a high i'm feeling after finishing this trilogy!
Such an epic journey that all have faced. Characters such as Malta who was initially very grating grew to be a favorite after enduring her own hardships away from the sheltered life of being a Bingtown Traders daughter.
The villains of the tale, subtle and obvious got their just desserts with good prevailing.
The scene of The Pirate Isles, Bingtown, Trehaug and Jamailia City were wonderfully detailed and captured your imagination with a by gone era of trading and sailing.
It's based on facts from history with galleys, trade routes and piracy with a brilliant edge of fantasy. Ancient dragons and sea serpents are re-awoke to reclaim what was lost and humans are in the front row of history witnessing these changing times.
Very easy which is a good job as there's so much of it.
Will soon be reading the follow on series The Rain Wild Chronicles!
