Finally finished Ship of Destiny!

Despite reading it for literally two months because l wasn't that interested in the middle bits I gave it 5 stars on Storygraph. The last quarter just flew by and I fell in love with Hobb's writing all over again. I still don't agree with those who say they like this trilogy better than The Farseer, but I do kind of get it.

I can't wait to reread The Tawny Man trilogy now that I have the context of Amber's adventures in the mix!

Reading Ship of Destiny had been slow, so I'm only about halfway through. I got to the part where Selden is speaking to Tintaglia as she arrives to Bingtown and I can't help but think that Hobbs' dragons are like cats and how I'd imagine cats would like us to talk to them if they could tell us their preference.

"Oh magnificent one, your fur shines like the moon and the sun, your form is grace and beauty incarnate! Please bestow us the honour of doing your bidding in cleaning your toilet sand."

Mad Ship made me feel hopeful for this trilogy, but Ship of Destiny is dragging again and full of shitty entitled men as the main source of threat. My least favourite trope! The only correct amount of shitty entitled men in a series is one, and that only if they're killed by a slightly deranged ferret in the final book.

Wintrow is at least still interesting in all his tragic misery, whereas Althea and Brashen just make me want to skip all the parts they're in.

I even enjoyed Malta's parts before a shitty, entitled man happened. :'(

Finally finished The Mad Ship! It was an easier read than Ship of Magic, probably at least partly because the edition had a bigger front, but moreso because everything wasn't so damn shitty for the characters all the time.

There's so many POV characters that I don't really feel attached to any of them, and I don't really agree with how some of the character arcs were done, just didn't feel genuine, but I look forward to reading what happens in the Ship of Destiny!
