Review of 'Ship of Magic (Liveship Traders)' on 'Goodreads'

Tengo OPINIONES con este libro. O sea, me ha gustado en general pero es denso y admito que he tenido que leer en diagonal parte de unas cuantas descripciones. La verdad es que es un libro lento y una primera entrega de saga más bien introductoria y algo tediosa, por lo que hay que tener paciencia leyendo (aunque tampoco ha ayudado que hasta casi la mitad no tenía demasiado interés por la mayoría de historias dentro del mar de personajes que hay en este libro). Eso sí, después sí que he estado más enganchado por ciertas cosas que ocurren y ciertos personajes.

El mundo que plantea no está mal, aunque tiene sus cosas. Me ha gustado mucho el planteamiento de las nao redivivas y el tronconjuro, pero el de las serpientes no tanto, aunque entiendo que cobrará más importancia de cara a los siguientes libros y me parecerá menos metido …

Review of 'Ship of Magic' on 'Goodreads'

I liked this a lot better than the first Farseer trilogy. I have rather mixed feelings about that one. This one, rather than follow one individual as primary protagonist, we've got several. This is much to my relief as otherwise I feared that the primary protagonist would be Kennit, and I totally couldn't have finished the book if it was. He irritates me. So much. Probably even more than Kyle and Malta because for those two there's the hope of them getting some sort of come-uppance, but Kennit? And his annoying girlfriend? Not so much. Any come-uppance just wouldn't resister as such with him and so it wouldn't really work. I can find her annoying even as I recognise the relationship as totally abusive right?

No rating

The setting was interesting, but I started this book while I was reading [b:World Without End|5064|World Without End (Kingsbridge, #2)|Ken Follett|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1509545511s/5064.jpg|2845518], and I just couldn't get motivated to read during that time.

I'll try this book again some other time.

Another awesome book by Robin. I can't even begin to try to summarize this book. Suffice to say it's bigger than The Farseer Trilogy. It's very nautical and there are many points of view. The world building and character development is brilliant as usual.
Did I mention there are serpents? Lots and lots of serpents.
