Liveship Traders Trilogy by Robin Hobb
I really enjoyed this trilogy. It had everything from family betrayal to pirating
I initially only picked up this trilogy, to fill the gap between The Farseer trilogy and The Tawny Man trilogy. It didn't really interest me much, in fact it sounded quite boring. Never did I think that I wouldn't be able to put the first book down. And
I never thought I would stay up until 2am every night in a rush to get to the end. I just kept wanting to know what would happen next. And I kept wondering what the deal was with the serpents we encounter in every chapter. And how on earth are the ships able to come alive?
And when I finally found out, my mind was blown away.
This was a magical trilogy, one in which we see the growth of so many characters. You come to love the characters you hate in the first book and you start to pity the characters you really didn't want to feel anything for. Brilliantly written, with in-depth descriptions of the towns, the places and everything surrounding it, this book gave me weird dreams, but good ones.
A deeply loved character form the Farseer trilogy plays an important role in this trilogy, and we learn even more about dragons than we did in the Farseer books.Robin Hobb created a realm of masterpieces, where each book is special and important in it's own way.

I've actually only read the Rain Wilds chronicles by her, which is based in the same world, but deals with a batch of newly hatched dragons....
It's one of my favorite series, and I fully intend to reading the rest of her works based in this world (and hope that she writes more that are based after the events in the Rain Wilds). She is a talented author and world-builder!

I absolutely love the Liveship Traders Trilogy, and can't wait to get into the Rain Wilds, but I would have thought you needed to read the Liveship Trilogy first. Did you not feel like you were missing something by starting with the Rain Wilds?
