My trilogy rating as a whole is 3.75:
I think we started off good in the first book and I was scared at first after absoutely adoring the Farseer trilogy but as I got more in the book, I got the hang of the characters, the plot was being laid out etc.
The second book completely gripped me, It had action and the characters felt more distinguished. I had really high hope for the way it would end and that just fell short for me, yes it pulls at my heart strings and I got emotional over some story lines but it just didn't feel completed at the end. I expected stronger endings for some characters and the punishment for the big bad just didn't do it for me. It was like watching Cersei die a good death all over again.

I finished The Mad Ship almost a year ago, so maybe I was a little out of touch with it all, so I struggled to piece together the politics and the motivations of all of the characters.
I also felt like some character decisions did not make sense to me or were frustrating, and some character arcs were ended unsatisfactorily, especially those that I feel didn't get their just deserts...
Still, Hobb is an incredible storyteller, creating rich, complex, morally grey leading characters, and the way she weaves everything together is so masterful!
