ReviewsRaves for Robin Hobb's magnificent Liveship Traders Trilogy Ship of Magic "Promises to be a truly extraordinary saga... the characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea. If Patrick O'Brian were to turn writing high fantasy, he might produce something like this. Kudos to the author and encore!" --Booklist Mad Ship "As splendid as Ship of Magic... with [Hobb's] hands on the wheel, High Fantasy is going to sea magnificently." --Booklist "Hobb displays a wonderful imagination... should delight fans." --Kirkus Reviews "A major work... Read[s] like a cross between Tolkein and Patrick O'Brian... Hobb gives high fantasy a nautical spin that will please a great many readers." --Publishers Weekly "Imaginative and compelling." --Library Journal "I'm absolutely astonished--this is even better than the assassin books. I didn't think that was possible." --George R.R. Martin, author of A Clash of Kings "One has to use a jeweler's loupe to find a flaw or a dull moment in this splendid conclusion to one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium... this book soars... the characters...and world-building are of the very highest standard. Like its predecessors, this is a masterful achievement. " --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

SynopsisHobb brings the epic tale of the Liveship Traders--begun in Ship of Magic and Mad Ship--to its triumphant conclusion. It is a world in dire straits: Bingtown is in flames, victim of the growing war with Chalced. Althea and Brashen, aboard the Paragon, are finding their blinded Liveship increasingly unstable and unpredictable. And in the midst of the chaos arises a dragon powerful enough to forge the world as she sees fit, be it for destruction, or redemption.
