Reviews

Praise for The Liveship Traders series: 'Even better than the Assassin books. I didn't think that was possible' George R R Martin A truly extraordinary saga! the characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea. If Patrick O'Brian were to turn to writing high fantasy, he might produce something like this.' BOOKLIST 'A wonderful book, by a writer at the height of her abilities' J V Jones
