Fantasy & SciFi
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.

God bok😊 . Historien er spennende og like lett å forsvinne inn i som i den første triologien. Det kan ta litt til å vende seg til sifte fra person til person. Det er også litt irriterende at det siste ordet i flere setninger stopper plutselig. I sum er det en bra bok 😊

Bra bok. Men irriterende at slutten på ordene mangler støtt og stadig.

Less then half the book we follow characters on great adventures, but mostly we follow this lame family drama with two paranoid trader woman fully involved in court politics and a shitty spoiled kid. All except the pirate and a priest apprentice is female main characters and they whine and wimper.

Fantastisk bok!! Dårlig innleser og ofte kommer ikke slutten av ordene med. Anbefaler å lese boka i stedet for å lytte til denne.

Elsker boken, men ikke innlederen og innspillingen. Tok lang tid å venne seg til lesemåten. Ellers kan d nevnes at d r en svært dårlig innspilling. Ingen merkbar pause mellom avsnitt hvor man hopper fra fortellersubjekt til fortellersubjekt. Og slutten på mange setninger mangler ofte siste ord eller lyd.
