Wow! This was a long book, and I still need to finish the 3rd one. However, the story is interesting and really dynamic. I am enjoying a lot!
I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as Ship of Magic but still, another excellent addition to the series.
The Mad Ship was not so easy for me to read. I had some difficulty with abundance of descriptions and overall slowness of the plot. Nevertheless, all of that was totally worth it. It was such a long time since I was immersed in the story so completely, that I was daydreaming about it.
And that is the most precious thing that the book can give to you.
Also, I just must mention the characters in this trilogy. All of them were crafted with so much love and precision. The development of Malta's character - standing ovation to the author. I believe that it requires a lot of patience not to just in one moment change the character's nature, but slowly, nurturing it with the events...
Next book - starting right now.
