Best fantasy series I have read yet. The Farseer series is awesome too, and I recommend reading that series first. But the three books that belong to the Liveship Trader series are extremely fun. I really don't think any of them were slow. Lots of adventure and so much on human nature. Hobb has caught humanness in its rawness. These books are a step above. The one thing I really enjoyed about reading this series is it never felt like I had to push through any spots of the book. It flowed really well. The character building is phenomenal. The worlds are great. I am having a hard time moving on after I finished this series of books. Ten!
Book 3 of a three book series. Do not start this book unless you plan the read the entire 3 book series, Interesting female lead character, who grows and develops thru the arc of the three books. Sexy at times without blatant porn descriptions of romantic events. If you like fantasy, and period stories set in a trading coastal sailing setting then you'll enjoy this empire building/destroying piratical romp. Mysteries abound and you might have to wait to the next book to figure out exactly what is going on, so if you like long trilogies these books might be up your ally.
