as always, i stayed up extremely late to read this, because all my self restraint goes when i read robin hobb. the live ship trader trilogy is so meticulously set out, i am at awe with how each pov seamlessly blends into one large comprehensible plot! as always, i was stressed out reading this, only because i am SO ATTACHED TO THESE CHARACTERS!! 

SO MANY QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!

kennit’s backstory … woah like he’s an evil dick and i’ll never forgive him for what he did to althea, but damn, he’s got a sad backstory… NOT AN EXCUSE THO AND HE DESERVED A MORE PAINFUL DEATH 🤬🤬 

paragon being the ship igrot took?!?! i absolutely love paragon, and now they’ve got igrot’s stash… WE SO UP RN ☝🏽☝🏽 OMG ALSO AMBER IS THE FOOL!! AND SHE GAVE PARAGON FITZ FACE IM SCREAMIJG INTO A VOID

 
it’s so funny because when i finished the farseer trilogy, i thought id be so excited to be done with the liveship trader trilogy. turns out I DONT WANNA LEAVE 😭🤥 the problem with these books is that they’re so addictive you just want to consume the book as soon as possible, but the downside is that soon you’ll be done with it all. i could write forever, but i’ll end this here…. WE UP RN WOOO

Paragon: “Be content with your own life, my friend, and live it well. Let others decide for themselves what path they will follow.” 

Amber: “Even when you see, with absolute clarity, that it is wrong for them? That they hurt themselves?” 

Paragon: “Perhaps people have a right to their pain. Perhaps they even need it.”

This was an amazing book and an amazing conclusion to the trilogy. There was one major traumatizing scene that I was totally unprepared for and ended up distressing me the whole day. So check the trigger warnings! Nevertheless, one of my favorite books this year, and my third 5-star book of the year too! (One other being also in the Realm of the Elderlings...)
