It hurts to watch icons topple. Death of an Adept lacks the grace and charm of its predecessors in this series. I am terribly disappointed with this novel, especially as I had anxiously awaited its arrival (Warning--this review is very long, as I plan to discuss its problems in depth.)

Ship of Magic, the first installment of a new series called The Liveship Traders, is set in the same world as Hobb's Farseer books, but in a different country and featuring a new, wider range of characters. It also is more ambitious in scope than the Farseer books and is told from many more points of view. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.

Other than the sheer unbridled viciousness of the villain, this book is a light, engaging, romantic romp through a comedy of manners. Read the full review by Becky Parkhurst.
