From the author of the classic Farseer trilogy, Ship of Magic is the first part of the Liveship Traders. Set in a land bordering the Six Duchies, Robin Hobb begins her epic of pirates, talking ships, magic, sea serpents, slave revolts, dashing heroes and bloody battles.
Wizardwood, a sentient wood. The most precious commodity in the world. Like many legendary wares, it comes only from the Rain River Wilds.
But how can one trade with the Rain Wilders, when only a liveship, fashioned from wizardwood, can negotiate the perilous waters of the Rain River? Rare and valuable, a liveship will quicken only when three members, from successive generations, have died on board. The liveship Vivacia is about to undergo her quickening, as Althea Vestrit’s father is carried on deck in his death-throes. Althea waits for the ship that she loves more than anything else in the world to awaken. Only to discover that the Vivacia has been signed away in her father’s will to her brutal brother-in-law, Kyle Haven. . .
Others plot to win, or steal, a liveship. The Paragon, known by many as the Pariah, went mad, turned turtle and drowned his crew. Now he lies, blind, lonely and broken on a deserted beach. But greedy men have designs to restore him, to sail the waters of the Rain Wild River once more.

Kom er niet doorheen wat een nare stem heeft deze vertelster. Dit verhaal verdient beter

Het boek zelf verdiende 5 sterren maar de narrator zou ik zelfs minpunten geven.

Anne Flosnik shouldn't be an audiobook narrator.It's so bad it just isn't funny anymore, the books are great, the narration ruined this trilogy for me

I think the narrator has done a great job. It was a bit slow in the beginning. But after a while I felt that she got into the story and took me with her. I liked how she consequently gave all the different characters their own voice, very well done. The only thing I might comment on is that there is never a pause between leaping from one storyline to the other. That was confusing sometimes.

Goed verhaal maar soms is de verteller midden in een zin en word de zin al afgesloten

I'm giving it an extra star because I know this books is, most likely, great and mesmerizing. I've read the Apprentice Assassin series amd those where the first books I read on storytell. I couldn't stop listening. Looovv ed it.Had to get used to the voice, but after a while it sticks. With the narration of this book, it's not that the narrator is bad, because she has a pleasant voice. It's just that with a lot of the sentences, the last words get cut off too quickly at the end. I'm a sound engineer and I can't believe this was done by a human being. Just makes my skin crawl. Such a waste of potential.Anyways peeps.., I can still recommend these books! For me it's kinda similar to the seventh son series by Orson Scott Card maybe.

Geweldig geschreven. Stem is in het begin wennen maar doet uiteindelijk recht aan het verhaal.

After reading the Assassin's Apprentice and the Tawny Man trilogies I was looking forward to another story set in this world by Robin Hobb.However, I was about to call it quits after less than a minute because of the narrator. Sounded like a clipped machine. Read in the reviews to set the speed to 1.1 or 1.25 and that changed everything! Now it is very pleasant, although a new narrator in the same series still kinda bugs me...

Great book, but one of the worst audio books. The edits are awful; missing letters at the end of words, no mention of chapters. The narrator either has a very very dull voice or something went wrong in production/post. Pro tip: speed up to 1.1 speed, it helps
