The Complete Liveship Traders Trilogy: Ship of Magic, The Mad Ship, Ship of Destiny

'Fantasy as it ought to be written' George R.R. Martin

The Liveship Traders trilogy returns readers to Robin Hobb’s most loved world.

The perilous waters of the Rain River Wilds can only be negotiated by sentient liveships made of Wizardwood, but such a ship is difficult to come by. Rare and valuable, it will quicken only when three family members from successive generations have died on board.

The liveship Vivacia is about to undergo her quickening as Althea Vestrit’s dying father is carried on to her deck. Althea waits with both sadness and awe for the ship that she loves more than anything in the world to awaken, only to find that her family have other plans for them both…

Liveship Traders Trilogy by international betselling author Robin Hobb.

    Great trilogy by an incredible author. The original Farseer Trilogy is in my opinion the best fantasy trilogy ever written.

      I agree, I have read and reread the farseer trilogy many times

    • snep on 06/09/2021 - 09:46

      Yep I'd probably agree with that, it's an excellent series.

      New readers can definitely jump in here as this is a mostly self-contained arc, but a couple of the reveals might not have the same impact as if you have already read the first trilogy.

      I found the ending awfully depressing.

      • porcho77 on 06/09/2021 - 13:52

        ending of the last triology? absolutely broke me. By that last triology Fitz is like an old friend not some character in the book. Robin does an amazing job building a connection to the characters in the books.

            @Adzaman: How is that a spoiler?

            • Adzaman on 06/09/2021 - 19:19

              @garetz: Obviously something happens to Fitz…..

              • garetz on 06/09/2021 - 19:39

                @Adzaman: Um, he is the seminal character, of course something happens to him, just like something happens to every main character of every story. What are you even saying was spoiled?

    • bennos on 06/09/2021 - 10:41

      Better than The Magician?

      • Kronky on 06/09/2021 - 11:05

        By Feist? One of my favourite books!

        • bennos on 06/09/2021 - 16:18

          The rift war saga. I've read alot of fantasy books, and I think the Magician was the best

      • Batz on 06/09/2021 - 20:22

        Is it just one book or a series? I'd be interested to check it out, do you have a link?

        • bennos on 09/09/2021 - 20:21

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magician_(Feist_novel)

          It's a series, link is to the Magician

          • Batz on 15/09/2021 - 20:11

            @bennos: Cheers will check it out.

      I couldn't get into this series. Just seemed too slow and boring. Loved the Farseer Trilogy.

      • souths123 on 08/09/2021 - 07:15

        yes, I prefered all the books that revolved around Fitz and the Fool. I have read all the Livetrader Books but didn't bother with the Rainwilds.

  • bisaya on 06/09/2021 - 09:44

    Doesn't look like it's on sale?

    • Ori0n on 06/09/2021 - 09:45

      It's normally $37.99….

      • bisaya on 06/09/2021 - 09:46

        ah thanks, yeah I couldn't see the normal price in the post or on amazon

    Same price on Apple Books also. So probably most/all platforms.

    Awesome! Have the books in paperback already but this is a great bargain. I'm due for a reread, thanks!

  • qazadex on 06/09/2021 - 11:05

    One of the best fantasy series I've read, honestly. The pacing, characterization, sense of wonder, etc. are all very good. In my opinion, it's better than the farseer trilogy, mostly for the reason that the farseer trilogy takes a while to get going, while Liveship Traders is strong from the get-go.

    • souths123 on 06/09/2021 - 12:47

      I still prefer the Farseer Trilogy and then the later Tawny Man and Fitz and the Fool series (to finish it off).

  • lordezekiel on 06/09/2021 - 11:39

    My favourite author of all time!

  • choodi on 06/09/2021 - 11:47

    I have the first two books from a previous deal. Third one is $14.99 at the moment. Bugger. Almost worth buying the whole trilogy at $7.99 just for the third book. Although, it seems Hobb's books are regularly on sale.

    • mopoke on 06/09/2021 - 13:39

      Same! I've just started the third book as an audiobook as I was missing the Kindle version and it's $15. I think I'll jump on this to get the missing one.

  • Jimpower on 06/09/2021 - 11:56

    A really great trilogy, I think it even sparked my interest in nautical novels which led me to some great nonfiction like Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage.

    • bennos on 06/09/2021 - 16:21

      If you like nautical books. Patrick O'brian Jack Aubrey books are second to none. Amazing

      • Jimpower on 06/09/2021 - 19:36

        Thanks and wow, it seems the movie Master and Commander was based on those books. I remembered watching that movie several years ago and loved it.

  • Boglet on 06/09/2021 - 12:25

    I recently finished the series and am struggling to find another author who is as enjoyable to read.

    • souths123 on 06/09/2021 - 12:28

      plenty out there, although not sure who/what you have already read. Have you read The Tamir Triad (Lynn Flewelling)? Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan), Curse of the Mistwraith (Janny Wurts…..last book in this long-running series is nearly finished) Night Angel Trilogy (Brent Weeks), The Quickening Trilogy (Fiona Mckintosh) Sunrunner series (Melanie Rawn) just to name a few

      • Boglet on 06/09/2021 - 20:29

        Thanks for those, apart from Robert Jordan I had not heard of those series.

        • souths123 on 08/09/2021 - 07:17

          oh, and as someone mentioned above….The Riftwar Saga and the others in that whole series by Raymond Feist.

  • souths123 on 06/09/2021 - 12:30

    already have the physical books, otherwise I would jump at this. Great price.

    I can't recommend this trilogy enough. Robin Hobb is an amazing author

  • bailbondsh on 06/09/2021 - 13:03

    Yeah like that's his real name

    • Subada on 06/09/2021 - 13:28

      It's her pseudonym

    I've already got the hard copies but thoroughly recommend picking up these books in whatever format you can. Amazing author.

  • Dune on 06/09/2021 - 14:00

    Should I start reading from this Liveship Traders trilogy or should I start with the Farseer series first? Just wondering if it matters story wise? Thanks

    • porcho77 on 06/09/2021 - 14:31
      +4

      IMO Farseer trilogy first. Sets up a lot of little things.

    • Ori0n on 06/09/2021 - 14:33

      Order of publication

      Farseer -> Liveship Traders -> Tawny Man -> Rain Wild -> Fitz and the Fool

    • porcho77 on 06/09/2021 - 14:34
      +2

      IIRC this is the order below
      The Farseer Trilogy
      The Liveship Trilogy
      The Tawny Man Trilogy
      The Rainwild Chronicles
      Fitz and Fool Trilogy
      edit; Someone beat me to it.

      • Dune on 06/09/2021 - 15:51

        Appreciate the feedbacks, thank you all!

    A little over a year ago, I had never heard of Robin Hobb. Then this deal popped up and I took a punt and bought all the books except for the Ship of Destiny (third book in the Liveship traders series) which for some reason wasn't part of that sale. I got hooked on the books and ended up getting Ship of Destiny earlier this year since I just had to keep going!

    Now I'm reading the third book of the Tawny man trilogy and can't recommend Robin Hobb enough. She is a fantastic writer and this deal is definitely worth it!
