The massive trilogy is made up of Ship of Magic, Mad Ship, and Ship of Destiny, each hefty fantasy tomes. Fitz and the Farseers are fantastic, but The Liveship trilogy is the best fantasy trilogy I’ve ever read. I put off reading it for about two years, but when I finally started it last month I couldn’t stop. It focuses on a different set of characters and unlike the Farseer books, it’s written in the third person with multiple points of views. But, when I finished the initial Fitz series I was a bit hesitant to go on with the Liveship Traders. We are currently on the second book, and I’m enjoying the series in this format. I loved the first Farseer Trilogy, so much so that I’m listening to the audiobook version on audible with my wife. If you know me and follow me on here you know that I believe Robin Hobb is the best Fantasy writer out there. Robin Hobb’s The Liveship Traders is a masterpiece of fantasy writing and I feel compelled to recommend it to all my friends who enjoy intelligent character driven fantasy literature. The only time I write longer pieces is when I come across a book that really captures my imagination, for example, last month I read The River of Doubt Theodore Roosevelt’s Darkest Journey by Candice Millard, a fantastic read filled with danger and adventure rivaling any fictional account. I prefer quick updates on what I’ve read recently, short and to the point, enough to recommend and maybe spur some discussion, but not concise reviews. I don’t write a lot of full-length book reviews. *This series counts as written under a pseudonym bingo square.
