Bold though it is, her scheme may be in vain. For her beloved Vivacia will face the most terrible confrontation of all as the secret of the liveships is revealed.

"Very good series. I enjoyed all three books a lot. Robin Hobb is a master of forming characters then letting them grow into their rolls. I have to say though that this trilogy was a little more paint by numbers than her first one. The ending was a bit predictable. But I enjoyed it none the less."
— Joe (4 out of 5 stars)

Hobb combines a unique fantasy vision with themes of devotion and selflessness to produce a powerful conclusion to an innovative saga. Highly recommended.

" Derde en laaste deel. Leuke serie, lekker lezen, goed beschreven en invoelbare karakters, mooi beschreven wereld die je echt zo voor je ziet, spannend en fantasievol verhaal dat mooi wordt opgebouwd, een van de betere fantasyseries wat mij betreft. Ben benieuwd naar de vervolgserie. "

" Well, this trilogy far exceeded my expectations. I don't know why I am surprised since it came from Robin Hobb. "
— Hilary, 12/3/2013 -
" Absolutely loved the last book of this trilogy, especially how some parts were tied to the Farseer trilogy by the same author. "
— Lisa-maree, 11/28/2013 -
" Great imagination, I really enjoyed these books and became heavily involved with the characters, their loves, lives and losses. "
— Max, 10/27/2013 -
" Probably my favorite fantasy series to date, for its complexity, its world building, its cast of characters, and its stunning prose. Best of all, these three books are snuggled in between eight other novels that are nearly as fantastic. "
— Aaron, 6/14/2013 -
" The story telling is a bit scruffier than in #1 and #2, but it delivers anyway. Thoroughly enoyable. Kept me awake very late. "
— Lucy, 12/2/2012 -
" the second book I was able to guess the sequence of events, but now I realize that was setting up this exciting conclusion to the series. The turn of events kept me interested to the very end. Looking forward to reading more Hobb. "
— Brinn, 10/17/2012 -

" Very intense and satisfying third book of this trilogy. Great characters as usual from Robin Hobb. "
— Tom, 4/30/2011 -
" As a trilogy these books are a great read. Not as good as the original trilogy but still well developed. To be fair, I found it harder to identify with characters in this series but I appreciated the way it broadened the world created in the first series. "
— Dan, 3/26/2011 -
" I think the series is greater than the sum of the books. I dont find any one of the books great, or a page turner, but I also cant wait to read the next one.<br/><br/>I think it boils down to an awesome concept, which is only mediocre in delivery. "
— Phil, 3/6/2011 -
" An excellent end to a very enjoyable series! "
— Lillie, 2/20/2011 -
" The conclusion of The Liveship Traders trilogy sets itself up for a possible sequel later on... "
