Ship of Destiny

This is how you finish a trilogy: setup the story and characters in the first two books and then concentrate on wrapping up the plot for the finale. As with the first two books, a strong feature is the way the characters develop over the course of the story, however this doesn’t get in the way of action. I’d say this was Sanderson-esque in its conclusion, but that is not really fair as Hobb published first. Having not been overly wowed by the Farseer Trilogy, the Liveship Traders trilogy has given me a new found appreciation for Robin Hobb.
