Narration 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.

It wasnt one of RHs best, thats for sure. As much as I love her writing, this was waaaaaaaaay too stretched out. It could have easily been half as it is now and would have been almost perfect. Further more, not much happened; it also ended like a chapter, not like a first part in a series. Still the dragons ripped my heart in thousand pieces and some of their keepers too. And I thought till now that Fitz was the unhappiest of her characters. I was wrong. !@#$%^&*!!!As for the otherI'm back into The Realm of the Elderlings and I certainly missed it. I missed Robin Hobb's slow character building and detailed scenes. Dragon Keeper focuses our attention on the Rain Wilds and a few characters from Bingtown as well. Our first character is a debutante woman, named Alise, from Bingtown with a scholarly appreciation to learn more about the dragons and Elderlings. She is in a loveless marriage with a man, Hest, that is in a relationship with his male assistant, Sedric. In exchange

Three years ago, after reading the book one of the Fitz and the Fool series (Hobb's finale that somehow left me both content and wanting more Will there be more beyond that end? I continue to hope.), I had decided to fill in the gaps left open by reading The Liveship Traders Trilogy and this quartet of books called The Rain Wilds Chronicles. Well, I succeeded in only part of that goal by finishing the Liveship books, before being drawn back to Fitz's final plight. I'm not alone in doing so.
I was looking for a great fantasy story and that is exactly what I got. This book contains dragons, and even though this is clearly the beginning of a big journey and we don't get to spend that much time with the dragons, I can sense that Robin Hobb is going to rectify that in the next books in the series. I liked how the dragons were portrayed as vulnerable as well as strong and fierce animals, because that made me grow to like them and care for them. We also get to follow the story from one of
So far this isn't reaching the heights of her other series, but even a C+-B+ Hobb book is a great read.
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.
