The Mad Ship

Guys. Guys. If you haven't read this series, do it.

This book picks up right where the last book left off. We get sooooo much more in depth with these characters. They are all so superbly fleshed out and made real. I felt so invested in their relationships and character arcs. The plot wasn't super fast paced, but I didn't feel like it ever dragged. I was definitely never bored by any means. I was constantly enraptured by the story. This one somehow was even better than the last book in the series and I thought that one was a masterpiece. Now I'm dying to start the third one because I honestly don't know how else Robin Hobb will be able to top this one, but knowing how I normally am (a crying mess) at the end of a series, I'm sure I will love that one even more. No middle book syndrome here!
