The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb

5.0

Man Robin Hobb has fast become one of my favourite authors. Her writing and character work is phenomenal. Her books are epic, they feel long and drawn out, but so, so worth it, each event building upon each other and all the characters playing their little puzzle piece parts in the developing whole. I accidentally read The Rain Wild Chronicles before this trilogy and while it could have been a shame that a lot was 'spoiled' for me, I actually found it really exciting to watch events unfold in this book that I already know too much about from Rain Wild.

I listened to the audiobook with Anne Flosnik narrating (as I was reading another epic fantasy physically alongside and wanted to finish both before the end of the month) and even though her narration isn't great and I would much prefer to read this (and epic fantasy in general in fact) physically, in the end it did not take away from my enjoyment.

I am so tempted to move straight on to book 3.....

Oh and, can I just say,

I love Malta, I think she's awesome.
