Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb

Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb

'Even better than the Assassin booksI didn't think that was possible'
George R R Martin

‘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, by a writer at the height of her abilities’
J V Jones

'Hobb is a remarkable storyteller.'
Guardian.

'Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers… what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.'
The Times
