Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb
5.0
What an amazing book.
Hobb have really improved everything from the first farseer trilogy.
Worldbuilding, characters I think even the prose have stepped up.
All characters are interesting, all are flawed and you get sucked into their unreliable perpective so easily. Often needing other characters to show you what is not told.
The story is the bestk ind of slow-burn where it takes it's time but you learn something interesting every chapter. A lot of things are seeded in a very interesting way.
Finally! I think this is the best book I've ever read when it comes to broken home or abusive relationships and slavery. Both subjects are handled in a way that chilled me to the bone and makes the issue bury itself deep into your conciousness. Perfect moments that I will keep with me forever. Read this book!
