Szalony statek, część 2

by Robin Hobb, Ewa Wojtczak (translator)

Los przestał się uśmiechać do rodziny Vestritów: ich rodzinny żywostatek "Vivacię" przejmują piraci pod wodzą ambitnego kapitana Bystrego. Kaj Kotwica i jego syn Prawy dostają się do niewoli. Dowiedziawszy się o tym, Althea obmyśla desperacki plan. Zamierza odrestaurować porzucony żywostatek o niebezpiecznie rozchwianej osobowości i kładąc na szalę resztki rodzinnej fortuny, pożeglować na poszukiwanie "Vivacii"...
Do plany przyłączają się tajemnicza Amber i Arogant Trell, który obejmuje dowództwo na "Niezrównanym".
Tymczasem na okolicznych wodach wciąż giną żywostatki. Węże morskie gromadzą się w kłębowiskach, narasta w nich niepokój.
Czy pojawi się wreszcie Ta, Która Pamięta?

About the author

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

Reviews

[Krysia o książkach · Rating 4 out of 5]

Uczciwie muszę przyznać, że czuję tu delikatny przestój, jednocześnie bardzo dużo się wyjaśniło.
Mam wrażenie, że trzeci tom mnie poskłada.

[Farseer8 · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you miss the Farseers world between your rereads of the books it is worth checking out The Mad Ship and all the Liveship Traders. It does have the connection to the main Farseer story and chronologically is placed between The Farseers and The Tawny Men.
I read that after the Tawny Man and it was also a great treat.
The universe Robin Hobb has created is so wast. Amazing!
Ideally, one should read the Liveship Traders before Fool's Assassin - the first book of the latest Farseer trilogy.
