Mad Ship (The Liveship Traders, Book 2)

Mad Ship (The Liveship Traders, Book 2)

â€œA truly extraordinary saga . . . The characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea.â€â€”Booklist

As the ancient tradition of Bingtownâ€™s Old Traders slowly erodes under the cold new order of a corrupt ruler, the Vestrits anxiously await the return of their liveshipâ€”a rare magic ship carved from sentient wizardwood, which bonds the ships mystically with those who sail them. And Althea Vestrit waits even more avidly, living only to reclaim the ship as her lost inheritance and captain her on the high seas.
Â
But the Vivacia has been seized by the ruthless pirate captain Kennit, who holds Altheaâ€™s nephew and his father hostage. Althea and her onetime sea mate Brashen resolve to liberate the liveshipâ€”but their plan may prove more dangerous than leaving the Vivacia in Kennitâ€™s ambitious grasp.

Praise for Robin Hobb and the Liveship Traders Trilogy
Â
â€œFantasy as it ought to be written . . . Robin Hobbâ€™s books are diamonds in a sea of zircons.â€â€”George R. R. Martin
Â
â€œA major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkien and Patrick Oâ€™Brian . . . one of the finest fantasy sagas to bridge the millennium.â€â€”Publishers Weekly
Â
â€œRich, complex . . . [Hobbâ€™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.â€â€”Interzone
