Ship of Destiny: The Liveship Traders Book 3 by Robin Hobb

December 17, 2025 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Trigger warning for rape and gaslighting  Well, the Liveship Traders Trilogy was incredibly good! I would have to agree that this trilogy is better than The Farseer Trilogy, and I loved that one. Ship of Destiny tied up important story lines while also leaving the door open to further developments for the main characters later. As ever, Robin Hobb juggles multiple plot lines with ease and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat to the end. I have a new appreciation for certain […]

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip…

Ship of Magic: The Liveship Traders Trilogy Book 1 by Robin Hobb

November 19, 2025 by ElCicco 2 Comments

I’ve discovered that one of the advantages of reading an e-book instead of a hard copy book is that often, when I download an e-book, I have no idea how many pages long it is. Having just finished Robin Hobb’s The Farseer Trilogy and loving it, and given the rave reviews I’ve seen other Cannonballers heap upon Hobb’s other series, I immediately downloaded The Liveship Traders Trilogy and dove right into Ship of Magic. If I had known the books in this trilogy clock in […]
