There are a few references to the Six Duchies (the land The Farseer Trilogy is set in). The Liveship Traders trilogy is set on the same world as Robin Hobb's The Farseer Trilogy and The Tawny Man Trilogy, although in another area. The text is easily readable through the simple font (Goudy, for those who care and know about such things), and there were very few textual errors that I could detect. After only two readings, they've already taken quite a beating. The paperbacks are far too vulnerable to carry so many pages, however. (For those of you who can't place Howe's name immediately: you probably know him through the multitude of Tolkien-inspired paintings he made.) They have excellent covers by John Howe, that actually have something to do with the contents of the books. The edition of the books I read were the British paperbacks, published by Voyager Books.
Continue at your own peril! Physical presentation The three books are: Ship Of Magic (ISBN 0-00-649885-X), The Mad Ship (ISBN 0-00-649886-8) and Ship Of Destiny (ISBN 0-00-649887-6).Īlthough I've taken pains to avoid spoilers, some are bound to be found in this review. Some notes: the trilogy is tightly woven together and thus, I review the three parts together. Still, I heartily recommend this trilogy. My enthusiastic feelings have been lessened somewhat by the time that has passed. It's been a while since I concluded reading The Liveship Traders Trilogy.
