I've finished reading the Farseer series and nearly completed the Ship Of Magic, and wondered if others felt as I have.
Ship Of Magic is disconcerting me a great deal. My mind is torn by what is occuring in this book. As Vivacia states, '...I think it is what your great-great grandmother would have called a premonition...'
I am enjoying all the various characters, and love some of them, loath others, and feel ambivalance to yet others. This is, of couse, the job of a good author, and Hobb is a great author. There were times is the Farseer, I felt the same way, though not to this strong effect.
So, has anyone else felt a real sense of unsettled feelings reading the books?
