I’ve praised Hobb on her characterizations strength in all my review of her books so far and I envisioned you’re going to see this as an occurring event. I almost absolutely loved reading this one, there were a few things I disliked which I’ll get into later but first let me dive talk a bit about the characters in this trilogy.

In addition to that, there are a lot of revelations to secrets that were hinted ever since the first book everything was resolved with no loose ends and the book also shed light on what to come in the future series. The book is filled with-once again-amazing characters developments, political turmoil, dragons, and a few great nautical battle scenes. Having read six books and one novella so far, whether I love it or not (mostly love), I found all her stories to be unpredictable. I really have to give this praise to Robin Hobb. Ship of Destiny marks the conclusion to the Liveship Traders trilogy, the second out of five subseries in Hobb’s Realm of the Elderlings series, and this was overall a satisfying conclusion. She has twice won an Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Readers’ Award.Ī satisfying conclusion to the Liveship Traders trilogy and at the same time, it also made me super excited to start Tawny Man trilogy.

She also writes as Megan Lindholm, and works under that name have been finalists for the Hugo award, the Nebula Award, and the Endeavor award.

She and her husband Fred have three grown children and one teenager, and three grand-children. In addition to writing, her interests include gardening, mushrooming, and beachcombing. Robin Hobb lives and works in Tacoma, Washington, and has been a professional writer for over 30 years. Robin Hobb is the author of three well-received fantasy trilogies: The Farseer Trilogy (Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin’s Quest), The Liveship Traders Trilogy (Ship of Magic, Mad Ship and Ship of Destiny) and the Tawny Man Trilogy (Fool’s Errand, Golden Fool, and Fool’s Fate) Her current work in progress is entitled Shaman’s Crossing. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van.

It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. ** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating.
