Status Updates From The Liveship Traders Trilogy

So glad these are all out because I’d be fucking feral to learn what happens next if I was reading these contemporarily. Hobb’s wrapping up of most book problems but still leaving a strong cliffhanger is *unparalleled*.

I’ve turned a corner on Malta in that I think it’s honest (and good characterization!) to show that people who grow up to be strong-willed and do extraordinary things… are sometimes kinda shitty, rude children.

Having read the Rain Wilds quadrilogy before these is crazy because I know what Malta grows up to be. If I’d read these books first I’d only hope her fate was to be drowned by Vivacia or something, she’s soooooo annoying. As it is can’t wait for her character arc lol
