Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy Fantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobb's books are diamonds in a sea of zircons. -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. -Booklist A major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkien and Patrick O'Brian . . . one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium. -Publishers Weekly Rich, complex . . . [Hobb's] plotting is complex but tightly controlled, and her descriptive powers match her excellent visual imagination. But her chief virtue is that she delineates character extremely well. -Interzone
