Representaion Supposing Books The Dragon Keeper (The Rain Wild Chronicles #1)
Too much time has passed since the powerful dragon Tintaglia helped the people of the Trader cities stave off an invasion of their enemies. The Traders have forgotten their promises, weary of the labor and expense of tending earthbound dragons who were hatched weak and deformed by a river turned toxic. If neglected, the creatures will rampage--or die--so it is decreed that they must move farther upriver toward Kelsingra, the mythical homeland whose location is locked deep within the dragons' uncertain ancestral memories. Thymara, an unschooled forest girl, and Alise, wife of an unloving and wealthy Trader, are among the disparate group entrusted with escorting the dragons to their new home. And on an extraordinary odyssey with no promise of return, many lessons will be learned--as dragons and tenders alike experience hardships, betrayals . . . and joys beyond their wildest imaginings.List Books Toward The Dragon Keeper (The Rain Wild Chronicles #1)

I listened to this on Audible and really enjoyed Saskia Butler's narration - maybe not quite as much as Nick Taylor in the Tawny Man Trilogy, but she was still very easy to listen to.The story picks up shortly after the events of the Liveships Trilogy and we get to see the serpents cocoon and then hatch as dragons on the shores of the Wild Rains River. Unfortunately, most of the dragons die and what remain are stunted and deformed and have to be tended by humans who see them as little more thanOne word: Paragon.This made me so happy to return to Bingtown and the Rain Wilds. I missed hearing the perspective of the Vestrits, but as the book started moving along, I was really happy to get to know our new characters. It honestly took me a long time to love the Vestrits too, so I can't begrudge these new characters too much.I had heard that this series read a little younger than the other books in ROE, and while I agree with that, I think Robin Hobb still brings devastation as only she
And we begin another series. This one, taking place in Bingtown (a bit) and the Rain Wilds (mostly) is classic Hobb goodness. The serpents that traveled so long and so hard in the Liveship books have completed their hibernation and are now dragons. Only, their travel was too long and too hard, only a handful have survived, and they are all stunted in one way or another. Unable to fly, dependent on the humans to feed them now that Tingtalia has disappeared, the situation is untenable. Until the
I just cannot get bored with Robin Hobb :D Ive been away this weekend busying around in the Rainwild. No one to bother me but my dry cough and tired body. I swooshed through the book, while normally Im a slow reader. Her writing simply captivates you till the end, like a trance. Even though there is no action. So glad to be backin that world with every character pulling you, engrossing you with their every step.
Dragon Keeper is the first book in the Rain Wilds series, which is the fourth subseries in the larger Realms of the Elderlings series. Its the first book that I hadnt read previously, and I really enjoyed being in new territory within this world.The story starts off a little slow with the author introducing her characters and letting the reader become a part of their lives before all the action starts. Not that this book ever gets really heavy on the action, but the tension does build and there
If I did't already have Robin Hobb in my blood I may not have loved this book. As it is, I do and I did. This is the continuation of the dragon's story that started in Live Ships. When I read Live Ships, the bit about the dragons was my least favourite part so I wasn't sure how much I would like Rain Wilds. Tintaglia kind of irritates me. Turns out, it was great to return to the Rain Wilds. And there are some amazing new characters and relationships to get sucked in to. It's a bit of a slow
A lot of Robin Hobb fans dont like this series but I love it. Just as good on a re read too,
