The Mad Ship Reviews

Ship of Magic 'Promises to be a truly extraordinary saga... the characterizations are consistently superb, and [Hobb] animates everything with love for and knowledge of the sea. If Patrick O'Brian were to turn to writing high fantasy, he might produce something like this.' BOOKLIST 'A wonderful book, written by a writer at the height of her abilities' J V Jones Assassin's Apprentice 'A gleaming debut' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Royal Assassin 'Hobb continues to revitalize a genre that often seems all too generic, making it new in ways that range from the subtle to the deeply shocking...' LOCUS Assassin's Quest 'Assassin's Quest achieves a bittersweet, powerful complexity rare in fantasy' LOCUS 'An enthralling conclusion to this superb trilogy, displaying an exceptional combination of originality, magic, adventure, character, and drama' KIRKUS REVIEWS
