Summary: Ok, but overhyped
Review: I must be missing something. I was not too much of a Meghan Lindholm fan before she became Robin Hobb, but I must admit I really enjoyed the Farseer books. There is a forced quality to the writing here that does not appeal to me, however. The characterizations lack depth and humanity--I'm sorry--I don't see it. Perhaps it is so wrapped up in the extremes of the fantasy. I am also annoyed that this book did not tie in to the first volume the way it should have.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: What can I say? Robin Hobb is a truly talented and excellent writer. She had me completely absorbed in her world and characters and I'm eagerly awaiting the next in the series.

Summary: Long Enough!
Review: One of the things I lament about good books is that they seem to end to soon, not so with this book. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book, and one of the reasons for this is because it ended so well. Althogh I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series, I feel that reading this book was a good and satisfying reading experience. I highly suggest this book to anyone who wants to read a new author with a fresh perspective on the old fantasy regime. Good work robin, keep the books coming as quickly as you can.

Summary: Mad Ship
Review: I have read both of the live ship traders books of robin hobb and the whole farseer trilogy robin hobb is a excellent writer and i love all the books she has wrote so far this book is a must read as is all of her books but where is the third one in this series?
Rating:
Summary: Beautifully written and spellbinding.
Review: I love this book. As someone who watches the craft of a writer, I am always taken with an author who can suck me in, keep me guessing, wrap me within a character's head, and leave me wanting more. I rarely find such writers. Ms. Hobb is one. Read Ship of Magic first to get the context, although you don't HAVE to. The characters will come alive in any case.

Summary: I can't wait for the next one.
Review: In this continuation Hobb does excellent. She still manages to balance all of the intertwining plotlines, and intoduce more characters. Some you love, others you love to hate. You see transformations of the exsisting characters, and Hobb does not allow to you to get bored for a single second. I couldn't put the book down (not even for Finals), and I love it. The writing is excellent, the dialog superb, and the characters believable. Truly a gem. Why isn't the next one out yet! ;-)

Summary: A great follow up by Hobb
Review: An excellent sequel to SHIP OF MAGIC. Developing characters even further, this book drove to further the readers' understanding of the characters' emotions and feelings. Its quality is due to the well developed characters and the fast moving action.

Summary: YOU WOULD BE MAD TO MISS THIS ONE!
Review: You would be MAD to miss this one. Truly one of the greatist epics of storytelling I've experienced. Don't let me ruin it by telling you how good the character's and plot are, experience it for yourself. This series is so good you will feel like you are there, living with the characters. That's why I LOVED IT!!!
