Ship of destiny by robin hobb5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The most absorbing theme continues to revolve around Captain Kennit, his mistress, Etta (now carrying his child), and the conversion of Wintrow Haven into Kennit's heir as king of the Pirate Isles. Such a profusion of plotlines could have overwhelmed or slowed down the book, but Hobb handles them with such agility that the reader is likely to want not fewer but more stories. ![]() Hobb weaves together multiple storylines: there's Althea Vestrit's quest for her family's liveship, Vivacia the awakening of Paragon (the eponymous ""ship of destiny"") the establishing of links between the liveships made of wizardwood and the sea serpents who, cocooned in wizardwood, mature into dragons the appearance of the dragon Tintaglia and the maturing of Malta Haven through rescuing the Satrap. ![]() True, there are moments in this third novel of the Liveship Traders Trilogy (Mad Ship Ship of Magic) when things progress too easilyDthe folk of Bingtown, for example, seem to embrace diversity, equality and female empowerment too quickly to be believed. One has to use a jeweler's loupe to find a flaw or a dull moment in this splendid conclusion to one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium. ![]()
