Loved this! So fun.
I enjoy all the characters. I find them annoying or lovable at various points. Many characters experience a lot of growth, especially Malta. I wish I had seen more of Malta and Wintrow’s thoughts during their change of hearts, though. I buy it, I just wish more of it had been on the page when it happened.
Kennit has some of the most nuanced tweaks of character, and I’m really enjoying his plot line a lot. He has a growing Long John Silver vibe with Wintrow which I like. He’s also clearly got a past that will come into play more and gives him a vulnerable side. I’m nervous about how his story ends

This is a true mastery of work. The series about the live ships stands on it own as a a groundbreaking fantasy.

Gosh, I struggled with this. It's my usual Robin Hobb issue. It's a good story, but... it takes an ice age to read. Plot moves at a trickle.
V. pleased with the change in Malta, although that was kind of sudden. I didn't get any sense of it being a gradual process at all, rather than her just waking up one morning and discovering that she was in fact not the center of the universe.
The actual center of the universe, at least if you ask him, appears to still be Kennit, whom I like less and less and less and less. Manipulative. Power-hungry. Probably psychopathic.

A great middle book! Somewhat long-winded at times, but it was very descriptive and immersive. I keep learning 16th century words which is also good! ;-)

A very good follow-up to the Ship of Magic...
