badellaware 's review for:
Ship of Destiny
by Robin Hobb
There are so many layers to this story that I know will come to me as I process this book. Generational trauma, sexual abuse, child abuse, the right to one’s own life and destiny and the choices we make along the way, the death and rebirth of many things: of our species, of our communities and families and ourselves.
This was a book of resiliency and evolution, how healing can end and begin other cycles. As depressing as some of these moments were, man, I can’t help but see the beauty of life and living. Paragon’s arc had me sobbing. I needed this book and didn’t even realize.
That being said, this is a book that can be highly triggering for those who have experienced abuse. I especially struggled the second half of this book, but the ending was exactly what I needed it to be, and for that, I’m glad that I read it. This is some of the best reading I’ve ever done.
