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

 I couldn't seem to put this book down. It is very imaginative and captivating. The world-building and magic are excellent. Robin Hobb does excellent character work. You really hate the bad guys but also have sympathy for them. No one is all bad or all good in these books.

I do caution that there is a lot of violence, sexual assault and it is very dark.
