Publisher's Summary
As the ancient tradition of Bingtown's Old Traders slowly erodes under the cold new order of a corrupt ruler, the Vestrits anxiously await the return of their liveship - a rare magic ship carved from sentient wizardwood, which bonds the ships mystically with those who sail them. And Althea Vestrit waits even more avidly, living only to reclaim the ship as her lost inheritance and captain her on the high seas. But the Vivacia has been seized by the ruthless pirate captain Kennit, who holds Althea's nephew and his father hostage.
Althea and her onetime sea mate Brashen resolve to liberate the liveship - but their plan may prove more dangerous than leaving the Vivacia in Kennit's ambitious grasp.
Spend some more time with the Liveship Traders.

What the Critics Say
"The novel is tightly written, with few passages not devoted to characterization, world building or action. Again, Hobb gives high fantasy a salty nautical spin that will please a great many [listeners]." (Publishers Weekly)
"Each volume in this series is a major undertaking, but those who enjoy original, epic fantasy, characters who grow and change believably, and fine writing will not want to miss The Liveship Traders. (Amazon.com review)

"Some what entertaining"
What did you like best about Mad Ship? What did you like least?The idea of a ship's metamorphosis into a being.The concept of an honorable pirate, and Malta I find her character to be unbelievable an tiresome.The story jumped from one character to the other or one incident to the other leaving the reader frustrated and confused.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)Disappointed it did not go far enough building the story of the Mad ship itself.
Which scene was your favorite?Can not recall one
Could you see Mad Ship being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?No

"Loved it as much as the first"
The first thing I am going to say is everything in the book relates to something else. There are no tangents or unrelated details. The characters you maybe did not enjoy so much in the first book both get worse and redeem themselves to some degree. I enjoyed the added focus on Paragon, and Amber. Anne Flosnick continued to do a wonderful job narrating.

"Unfortunate choice for narrator..."
After listening to Paul Boehmer, Anne Flosnik just doesn't make this series come to life. Her style of reading is less than optimal... Slow pace with words clearly enunciated. Would be a great childrens book narrator.

"LUV'd IT"
Found book 3 in the book recycle bin at work and it looked interesting so I looked up the firs two books and found that audible had them all so purchased the audio. This is a GREAT read/listen. Not my favorite fantasy series but it's def at the top of my list after Wheel Of Time and Mistborn. Highly recommended. 3.5 stars!!!!
