halftimelord 's review for:

Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
4.25
adventurous dark sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I had very high hopes for Ship of Magic after reading the Farseer trilogy last year, and at first I thought this wasn't going to match up - it took me a while to get into the ideas (talking boats?) and warm to the characters. Once I did though (which was a fair way through) I couldn't put it down! 

Hobb writes brilliant, believable characters and relationships, and I can't wait to read the rest of this trilogy and find out what terrible things await them!
