Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:“A truly extraordinary saga . . . The characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea.”—Booklist
As the ancient tradition of Bingtown’s Old Traders slowly erodes under the cold new order of a corrupt ruler, the Vestrits anxiously await the return of their liveship—a rare magic ship carved from sentient wizardwood, which bonds the ships mystically with those who sail them. And Althea Vestrit waits even more avidly, living only to reclaim the ship as her lost inheritance and captain her on the high seas.
 
But the Vivacia has been seized by the ruthless pirate captain Kennit, who holds Althea’s nephew and his father hostage. Althea and her onetime sea mate Brashen resolve to liberate the liveship—but their plan may prove more dangerous than leaving the Vivacia in Kennit’s ambitious grasp.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Robin Hobb's Ship of Destiny.
 
Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy
 
“Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb’s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.”—George R. R. Martin
 
“A major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkien and Patrick O’Brian . . . one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium.”Publishers Weekly
 
“Rich, complex . . . [Hobb’s] plotting is complex but tightly controlled, and her descriptive powers match her excellent visual imagination. But her chief virtue is that she delineates character extremely well.”Interzone.

Again, a more interesting and original read than the Farseer Trilogy. The multiple viewpoints are expanded with the addition of the Rain Wild Traders and a companion of the satrap, though she turns out to play a much more minor role than anticipated. Malta matures from a spoiled brat into a young woman prematurely worn by cares but still having guts and determination. The conflict between the Bingtown traders, Jamaillia and the Chalcedeans comes to a head while the pirate Kennit's crusade against slavery strengthens. The delicious irony is that the pirate isn't really good, but ends up doing good in the course of expanding his own powerbase and fulfilling his childhood dreams of power and of having his own liveship. And Vivacia turns pirate as she grows to love Kennit, and Wintrow discovers a new destiny. Plus the truth behind the serpent/dragon life cycle is revealed including the awful secret of the liveships.

The only thing that holds this back from 5 stars is being brought up short from time to time by evidence of the lack of editing I noticed on the first Liveship Traders volume. This varies from confused subjects to really klonky grammar mistakes. But there are not a huge number just quite a few scattered through this 900 page book. ( )

I am at absolute odds with loving Hobb's strong female characters and absolutely despising her seeming lack of feminist ideals. I'm reminded a bit of a shadow of Gabaldon's "Outlander" characters who seem incapable of defending themselves against any sort of hardship or danger.

Hobb's characters are made of much stronger stuff - and I keep hoping that each strong woman will find her way without the help or support of a male lead - but have so far been quite disappointed.

Don't get me wrong - the story is absolutely amazing. The world-building is enticing and beautiful. The characters are believable - even lovable. Most of them are female - which I love - I'm just too damn old and have seen too damn much of life to give 5 stars to a story that still finds women lacking, despite all their strengths and capabilities.

Maybe I'll have a chance to ask Hobb about this at her Denver Comic Con panel this Saturday! ( )

La maldición milenaria de los Antiguos Mercaderes del Mitonar se va erosionando poco a poco bajo la mano de hierro de un nuevo soberano corrupto. Mientras tanto, los Vestrit esperan ansiosamente a Althea, quien ha encontrado un nuevo hogar en el barco viviente Ofelia.

The characters continue to have annoying traits but I found this 2nd book in the trilogy had a more absorbing plot than the previous book. In particular, the Rain Wild people intrigued me - I look forward to learning more about them. ( )
