I’m only on the first one and that only about 40% of the way through. It’s very different than the Farseer trilogy. I’d actually skipped the Liveship trilogy before without realizing it. I was still very new to fantasy at that point.
Ship of Magic has multiple protagonists and tbh I don’t like any of them. It’s extremely well written but man does everyone have glaring flaws. I’m really hoping for some serious character growth so I can start rooting for anyone.
I loved the Farseer trilogy, but I didn't get very far in to Liveship traders. It's been a long time, so I don't recall exactly what it was, but I didn't like it at all. I actually gave my copies to someone who seemed really in to the books. I hope she gave them a good home.
Did you read any other books in the Elderlings series?
No, I haven't read any Hobb after Liveship, unfortunately.
