The Liveship Traders Trilogy (Book 2): the Mad Ship
I think I'm going to save my review for when I'm done with the series. There aren't many books I've read in my life that have characterization this deep, this real, or relationships this complex. Also, I am very used to catching character or plot inconsistencies in a book. Robin Hobb must have a steel trap memory, the best note-taking system in the world, or OCD. Because I just can't find one plot hole.
