As Bingtown slides toward disaster, clan matriarch Ronica Vestrit, branded a traitor, searches for a way to bring the city's inhabitants together against the Chalcedean threat.

Meanwhile, Althea Vestrit, unaware of what has befallen Bingtown and her family, continues her perilous quest to track down and recover her liveship Vivacia from the ruthless pirate Kennit.

Bold though it is, her scheme may be in vain. For her beloved Vivacia will face the most terrible confrontation of all as the secret of the liveships is revealed. It is a truth so shattering, it may destroy Vivacia and all who love her, including the boy-priest Wintrow Vestrit, whose life already hangs in the balance.

Ship of Destiny is the wonderful conclusion to Robin Hobb's Liveship Trilogy. I was so sad when I reached the epilogue as I felt I had gone through the long, arduous adventures with each of the characters. Amazing story!

Magnificent conclusion to an epic tale!

This is a awesome stand along/ filler addition to the Realm of the Elderlings.. but start with the story of Fitz to really enjoy this.

Even after many readings/listenings I still love this story.. from Fitz to the Vestrit family..

The author does not shy away from the hard subjects in this one, keeping in tune with her other novels. I was emotionally wrenched and torn by characters actions in ways I have never been.
A satisfying conclusion to an epic tale.

Wow

At once a morality tale, a fanciful adventure, and a great escape from reality. Robin Hobbs doesn't skimp in building her characters who do not remain static but are allowed to learn and grow. Of course she contrasts these with a certain group who usually suffer from hubris and forces the story into unexpected consequences .

Entertains on so many levels

Great way to end the trilogy. I didn't like the reader very much at first, but she really grew on me and now I look forward to hearing more from her.

Hobb is fun!

I have been listening to Robin Hobb's books for a little while and this was by far my favourite so far. I think Anne Flosnik does a great job narrating and I just had the hardest time putting these books down. The whole Liveship Traders series is amazing and so well written. But this book specifically had me fall in love with characters that I hated in the previous books.

Amazing!
