Re: Live Ship Traders

This was definitely my favourite of the Six Duchies series... not that I didn't love the others, just that I preferred this one. I think it's the different POVs that make it so good - Fitz is fantastic, but the first person POV means that we miss so much of the other people! People like Kettricken, for example, get relatively little screentime even though they're amazing characters in themselves. In Liveships there are so many storylines and it gives a more... balanced (?) view.

That being said, the sheer intensity of the Fitz books make them an awesome (in the literal sense) read. I definitely agree with Giovanna on the first of her spoiler scenes.
