Reviews
The Liveship Traders saga moves on. More politics, action and the minor characters step up to the plate. Am I the only one who loves the driven nature of Malta? Good Grief! Tunnels, mud, looking like she been dragged through a s**t pile backwards SHE still gives the Satrap tons of attitude. (When you read what happens to her to-be husband Reyn she should not worry). Keffria, Winthorp, Althea. Everyone gets a chance. Hobb squeezes all this into 906 pages but not a page is wasted. Book 3 is coming.
