Narration As 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.Rating About Books The Dragon Keeper (The Rain Wild Chronicles #1)

I'm glad to revisit the fantasy world created by Robin Hobb---one of the few true queens of fantasy not the fake ones---again and this journey takes us to the mysterious Rain Wild River and its forest, we travel upriver together with a bunch of Rain Wild misfits and a pack of deformed dragons in hope to discover the long-lost mystical city of dragons and the Elderlings. There hadn't been any dragon walking this world for centuries and neither the dragons and the humans know what to do with eachThree stars for dragons, everything else sucked.
I read this book once again as a buddy read with my loyal group of Robin Hobb readers. We're all a bit obsessed with her work by this point honestly and we'd all been missing this world and these characters so being able to dive back into a story of Elderlings, Magic, Monsters and Myths was just wonderful and although this isn't my favourite of her books I still really enjoyed this. It is a shorter book than many of the Hobb ones I've recently read, and the story does have a few skips in time
It's always a pleasure to read more from the world of the Elderlings and this book was no exception. Journeying along the Rain Wilds we see a whole new cast of characters. They are such strongly written and so individual in nature that they come alive off the page. While there are so many characters to love, there are also quite a few that I love to hate. This is Robin Hobb afterall, she knows how to write those villains. It was also such a treat to have those little moments of meeting up with
Trigger warnings: Sexual assault, cheatingThis story is intriguing! I was a little nervous because the Rain Wild Chronicles has mixed reviews. I LOVED seeing the dragons, and so enjoyed being back in the Rain Wilds.
I'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
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 other
