I read the first trilogy, and wanted to continue with the rest but never got around to it. How are the Ship books?
I’m only on the first one and that only about 40% of the way through. It’s very different than the Farseer trilogy. I’d actually skipped the Liveship trilogy before without realizing it. I was still very new to fantasy at that point.
Ship of Magic has multiple protagonists and tbh I don’t like any of them. It’s extremely well written but man does everyone have glaring flaws. I’m really hoping for some serious character growth so I can start rooting for anyone.
I loved the Farseer trilogy, but I didn't get very far in to Liveship traders. It's been a long time, so I don't recall exactly what it was, but I didn't like it at all. I actually gave my copies to someone who seemed really in to the books. I hope she gave them a good home.
Did you read any other books in the Elderlings series?
No, I haven't read any Hobb after Liveship, unfortunately.
