I would describe this story however, as more of a one-off set-up book. It takes the characters of old, and after giving some meaning to the dislocations of time and place, sets out within its own bounded adventure.

Haven't bought it yet - on way down shops now...
Your description has whet my appetite, however, as though it needed whetting. Robin Hobb is AMAZING!!!
Question: is she still drawing excellent strong and interesting women characters as in the Liveship Traders books? I thought they developed amazingly well over the series, especially Malta....... I want more of the same (only different, of course.....)
