How many different engaging, high-drama story lines can there be in one book? Don't ask me. I lost track of how many are in this one, but now my head is full of great story and I can't wait to move onto the next one. Especially since this book didn't actually end, it just stopped in the middle of ...
39. THE MAD SHIP, BY ROBIN HOBB (Book 2 of The Liveship Traders, Book 5 of The Realm of the Elderlings)I would normally read a few more books by other authors before reading another one by someone I have already read, but I just REALLY wanted to know what happened. I’ll try to restrain myself before...
Book 2 and if book 1 was complicated book 2 becomes even more so, looking forward to book 3
I've kind of said everything about this series in my comments on the first book.Even more than the Assassin's Blah series these have blurred for me, which is partially a consequence of the multiple-character viewpoint thingy that GRRM also uses so effectively in GoT.It just feels like reading one in...
I must say that I'm liking these huge books more and more. I love getting to know in depth all these characters and anticipating how they will react to certain circumstances (usually I'm wrong).

Also, I am very used to catching character or plot inconsistencies in a book. Robin Hobb must have a ste...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mad Ship, and despite its length got through it fairly quickly. The plot moves at a good clip, and many of the problems I had with Ship of Magic are gone from the sequel: there's less bloat, and the overall arc of the trilogy becomes clear, as do the roles of Paragon and...
I hadn't actually expected this, but I think I might like this series a teeny-tiny bit more than the Farseer trilogy. Mostly, I think, because I'm more interested about more characters in this one. In Farseer is was really only Fitz' story I cared about. Here I'm equally interested in Althea's, Malt...
Looking forward to the third volume! Quick summary: Vivacia & Wintrow being converted over to the 'dark side', Paragon being refitted and set sail out to sea with Althea, Amber & co, following the sea serpents in their quest to remember, the political situation between Bingtown, Jamailla, Chalced & ...
