I feel she changed far too abruptly, but it was a welcome change since the family fighting really dragged down the first book. Although she was selfish and immature in book one, she abruptly morphs into a young adult with a decent understanding of how the complex world around her works. All the main characters are back including Malta. Once the facts start to be revealed, you will not look at the liveships in the same way anymore. The details of the Rain Wilds, the future of Bingtown, and the fate of the dragons dominate the story telling and keep things entertaining. Once again centered on the Vestrit family, this book skips most of the tiring squabbles that dominated book one and instead brings the fantasy world to life. All of the various threads start to weave together and the connections keep the story moving. In my review of Ship of Magic, I wrote that it was "80% set-up and 20% interesting fantasy." This book really springboards off of that set-up work and brings the interesting fantasy to the forefront. ![]()
