fuzzreads 's review for:

Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
5.0
adventurous emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I love the way that this story weaves together the lives and challenges of so many characters. I became quickly invested in all of them, good or bad, or sea serpent. The themes are rich and touch each of the stories, but don't feel heavy handed. The writing is easy to follow as it builds a complex world. The ending kept me so invested and of course excited to continue the story with Mad Ship.
