From Amazon.com

Robin Hobb returns to the sea with Mad Ship, the second book in a projected trilogy set in the same world as her famed Farseer series. Many unresolved questions from Ship of Magic are answered in this tale of sea serpents and dragons; living ships made of wizardwood; the Bingtown Trader families who sail the ships; and their disfigured cousins, the Rain Wild Traders, who build them.

The Vestritt family's liveship, Vivacia, has been taken by Kennit, an ambitious pirate. Captain Haven is a prisoner; his son Wintrow, who bears the Vestritt blood, finds himself competing with Kennit for Vivacia's love as she becomes a pirate ship. Althea Vestritt, in training to become Vivacia's captain, arrives home to discover her beloved ship lost. Brashen Trell, her old friend and shipmate, proposes that they sail to Vivacia's rescue in the liveship Paragon, who has lost two previous crews and is believed mad. Malta, Althea's niece, seeks help from her suitor, the Rain Wild Trader Reyn, whose family is the Vestritt's major creditor. Meanwhile, the sea serpents who follow sailing ships struggle to remember their history and return to their place of transformation.

Each volume in this series is a major undertaking, but those who enjoy original, epic fantasy, characters who grow and change believably, and fine writing will not want to miss The Liveship Traders. --Nona Vero --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.



From Publishers Weekly

The second book (after Ship of Magic) in Hobbs's Liveship Traders trilogy solidifies the series's promise as a major work of high fantasy, reading like a cross between Tolkein and Patrick O'Brian. Protagonist Althea Vestrit is neither unrealistically beautiful nor mindlessly dauntless. She is a very human character who has her share of doubts as she undertakes to assemble a motley crew of allies (including her former lover, Brashen Trell) to take the blind, insane liveship Paragone to sea in search of the Vestrit family's liveship Vivacia. Meanwhile, Vivacia is enjoying a prosperous career as the flagship of pirate Captain Kennit. In spite of his peg leg, Kennit is a charismatic leader, with a genius for manipulation that his mistress Etta and his prisoner Wintrow Vestrit (Althea's nephew) seem ready to mistake for virtue. And in Bingtown, Wintrow's bratty sister, Malta, finally starts growing up when her family and town face ruin and she must take refuge in the Rain Wild forests. This second installment in the trilogy reveals the connections among liveships, the wizardwood used to build them, the sea serpents and the legendary Rain dragons. Apart from an overly long subplot concerning the feckless young Satrap, the novel is tightly written, with few passages not devoted to characterization, world building or action. Again, Hobb gives high fantasy a salty nautical spin that will please a great many readers. (Apr.) FYI: Robin Hobb is a pseudonym for Megan Lindholm.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Outstanding, Jui 21 2006
Par Ms. H. Sinton "dragondrums" (Ingleby Barwick. U.K.) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This second book in Robin Hobb's `Liveship Traders' series sees Althea aboard the Liveship Ophelia and trying to regain her own beloved Liveship, Vivacia. The `pirate king' Kennet is now in possession of Vivacia and has no intention of giving her up. Worse still, Vivacia seems happy with the situation and is doing nothing to help Althea regain her.
Amber, the mysterious artisan who befriended Althea in book one, is trying to heal Paragon, a Liveship who supposedly went insane and killed his owners. Paragon has been beached and blinded and is now totally mad; no one dares go near him except for Amber. Another story thread sees Althea's spoiled and wayward sister Malta become increasingly involved with the mysterious Rain river wilds traders. A relationship seems to be developing between her and one of the masked young men of the trading people.
Robin Hobb has managed to maintain the standard she has set with her previous novels, if not surpass them. She must surely rate as one of the best fantasy writers around...highly recommended.

4.0étoiles sur 5 You'll want to read more Hobb, Sep 11 2005
Par Daffydd (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This is the fifth Robin Hobb novel I've read (and as yet haven't read any of material as Megan Lindholm) and enjoyed the book immensely. Why then only 4 stars? My true score for the book is 4 and a half. (We need to Make Amazon allow for half star ratings!!!) Length! Having recently read this 800+ page fantasy and recently a 1000 page fantasy, I am starting to feel novels should hit an approx 600 page max. Obviously this is a very personal bias. Thus the three 800+ page books of the series could have been 4 600 page books, and though it felt long (to me), there wasn't any part that I'd edit out.

There a few slowing intertwining plotlines. What was very satisfying was having the story line develope one plotline, then shift to the other plotline. Your thinking, NO, I want ot read more about this part of the adventure with these characters; but while reading the other storyline the very same attachment happens, and suddenly you aren't willing to go back to the first story thread you didn't want to leave, because this other part of the story has been just as good, just as involved, and... you end up not really wanting to put the book down.
More Hobb? I am getting myself a copy of the third book of this trilogy (the local bookstores were sold out) and I am becoming eager to read the third trilogy in the same world as that takes us readers back to the assassin's apprentice of the first trilogy.
Very recommended!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Brilliant!!!!!, Janv. 1 2004
Par William K. Fraley "Kirk" (Carrollton, TX USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I'm only adding my voice of praise for this book to bring up the average rating to the level I feel it deserves. Not since George R.R. Martin's "A song of ice and fire" have I read a series with such character depth and panoramic vision. Many nights I'd curse, roll over, turn my reading light back on to read "just one more chapter".
